I don't know much about it, but when our office telecoms system was replaced a few years back, it then included this kind of functionality. I can (or could, when I was in the office) have an exchange toolbar that allows me to control my phone, including call forwarding behavior. I don’t think

The short answer is - Yes. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there were modems. You plugged the phone line into them and then plugged the modem into your coms/serial port. The software would then send commands to the modem to send the appropriate tones for '*' '2' '1'' phone number'

Your modem modern probably doesn't even connect to a phone line. Or may not, ADSL is often naked as well. So you'd need a DTMF with AUSTEL approved isolator. Hmmm. Or a sound card could do the generation, but you'd still need to get it isolated. On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 4:11 AM, Glen Harvy

Depends on whether you want to control the virtual (SIP) phone, or a local (POTS) phone. True, Mike. Interestingly some mass-appeal modems now have ports (connections) for both. I think there’s a TP-Link ADSL modem that does. (This doesn’t help to answer the original question, though).
