I did a project for hoovers in Austin way back in the 80's, or 90's They had a fax board on their server. We simply passed a string to it and it dialed for them.
Don't remember having it go silent as the project was faxing, but it should be pretty easy to do it with a fax modem and disable the fax portion via its command options. Basically just use it as a dialer -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sytze de Boer Sent: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 4:53 PM To: profox Subject: Re: VFP & Phone Dialer Jeff, if you come up with something, please keep me in the loop. I'd love to hear more About 10-15 years ago, I developed an App to link my computer to the phone line and identify callers. i.e. caller ID gave me the caller and I would then check that number against my accounting software, AND/OR, a 2nd table, to tell me who was calling. At this stage I've recorded some 150,000 incoming phone calls. At the time I developed this App, I also had a reply button, but I gave up on it. I had 10 WAV files (0 to 9) I would lift the receiver and hit the phone number, which would play the relevant phone number digits. I used an internal modem. It worked, but not "sweetly" enough so I removed the Reply button On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 9:16 AM, Jeff Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > I have had a couple of requests for phone dialers in my application. > They want to click on a text box with a phone number in it and have it > dial the number.
