May I add this to the list:Yes. MegaPhone and PhonePro are back. ( And PhonePro is a lot cheaper than it was years ago.)

Their new offerings are right-on for what the thread seems to be looking
for.
And MegaPhone is controllable with AppleEvents (AppleScript), so a stack can control it. I don't know if such a combination would have the power of PhonePro, but it might.
But Apple has crippled the internal modem to the point that just about all MegaPhone would be able to do with it is dial out and I think it can't even do that under Classic. You need to get external phone hardware. Or find an old 840AV. (As mentioned earlier, we can already dial with Revolution.)
The current version (9) does not work on OS X except somewhat under Classic. I get the impression that the MegaPhone folks thought that 10.2 was going to have telephony support. Maybe it will eventually. Version 10 of MegaPhone for OS X may come out then.
I'd keep an eye out for Bluetooth developments. There seem to be wireless phones and PDAs with Bluetooth. And cordless stereo earphones. I haven't seen ones with mics but I expect they will be out soon. I have seen a couple Bluetooth POTS adaptors, but that area seems immature.
And on IP phone standardization.
I don't know much about what is going on these days, but it would be great if Revolutionaries can be part of telephony or at least the personal telephony niche, whatever that is.
