Keep Trying! (KT) is a simple utility for dialing your phone. It works
through the modem connected to your computer, and therefore requires
that you have a modem (with a speaker), and a phone connected to the
same phone line as the modem. You can use KT either in connection with
a "Contacts" or "Address-Book" program, copy-and-pasting or drag-and-
dropping the phone number from that application to KT, or you can use
it manually, simply typing the number you want to dial into KT's
window.
KT has several advantages over dialing a number yourself, or using the
phone-dialing option that is built in to some Address-Book software
applications. As its name suggests, KT will "keep trying" a number if
you don't get through on your first try. If you either get a busy
signal, or there is no answer, KT will wait a length of time that you
specify, and then dial the number again. Because KT is a small, stand-
alone application, you can leave it running in the background, trying
as many times as you like to get through to your number, while you
work productively in other applications. KT also has a "Listen In"
feature, useful for when you're put on "hold" for extended periods.
