VB Forum / General 2 / August 2008Want to use computer as telephone
I want to use my PC to make telephone calls, without using VOIP or the Internet. So for example, using VB (VB6 or .Net), I want to define the number to call, and using the mscomm component (or other, if more appropriate), use the audio card's speakers and mic to listen and talk. I have tried the VB6 DIALER.VBP, but it does some strange things, like leaving the line open even after the port is closed, and will not really make a connection. Does anyone have a more up-do-date example of how to do this? TIA!! > I want to use my PC to make telephone calls, without using VOIP or the > Internet.

You may want to look at the TAPI (telephony API) and its associated VB control.

I am working on a Vista desktop (actually a laptop computer). The purpose is to allow distributed data entry operators to call respondents without having to fumble with dialing their phone while entering data at the same time. >> I want to use my PC to make telephone calls, without using VOIP or the >> Internet.

The 6th result (for me) is the full Win32 TAPI reference. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733433(VS.85).aspx SignatureDean Earley (dean.earley@icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems |
