                           -------------------

                           
  Hello, everybody!
  
  First of all, I want say - sorry for my bad English. I hope, you'll
understand what I'm trying to say.
 
  I'm glad to introduce you my Dialer/2 - nice Phone Dialer for OS/2
Presentation Manager. It has some useful features like: phone-book, autodial, 
phone tax.
  I hope it has very simple interface, so you can use it without any help.
  The only thing I want to mention - Dialer/2 should be used when no other
programs are accessing com-port. Otherwise, Dialer/2 may not see modem answers,
like "BUSY" or "NO CARRIER", so audodial feature will not work.

  Work with program begins with setup. So let's all pages of Setup dialog.
  
  Page "About"
  ------------
  On this page you can see version of Dialer/2 and used modules.

  Changes made on this page will be effective on program restart.
  WARNING! If you select incorrect device module, program may not function
properly or even may not start at all. In this case, delete INI-file from
program directory and then reconfigure it. Phone-book will not be deleted.
