Bill, back on Oct 19  2002 you posted:

I would like to use the built in modem to dial a phone number. I want
to build a simple phone directory and allow dialing from it. (I'd also
like to get CallerID info too but that is very much secondary.)

Did you get anywhere with this? I'd be interested in seeing what is out there
already for this. I want to chart/track my phone bill here.
I would like to see what's out there in Revolution telephony, too, and to encourage it.

My 660AV was my second Mac. I got it because Apple billed it as a personal telephony system as well as a cool Mac. Well, it didn't have the software to be a personal telephony system. It had some limited hardware and a DSP chip. After bugging Apple and getting no response, I decided to build a personal telephony plugin for Arrange from Common Knowledge. (I was also making a form-based scripting plugin.) Common Knowledge dropped (sold) the product and all that went up in smoke.

Apple in recent times has crippled the modem as far as telephony applications go.

However, there seems to be an interest at Apple in Bluetooth, so simple telephony capability may come through that.

There are some Mac telephony products coming back, but they have to deal with the same limitations.
