I wrote this about 12 - 13 years ago when I was on Dial-Up and I had a phone modem (with voice) installed. I wrote it using VB 5 (I think) and on Windows 98
When I had it installed it did incoming and outgoing calls. On incoming it did voice greetings and other voice things. It detects dial tones. Caller could leave message. If I wasn't home this app would call me on my cell phone and inform me of a call I missed giving me the number. I also used this to activate my home security camera system. I would call home and this would answer my call and I would enter a special code which would cause this app to load and run the security software. I built this application as I was learning TAPI and it took me over 6-months to complete. It was my biggest challenge at that time.
You will need to make your own wave files or contact me and I will email them to you

Dear jmsrickland
I am trying to write a program using TAPI to accept a call through voice modem.
When my PC answers to the call, it is sending a wav file
On this project I am facing 2 problems and I would very much appreciate it if you could help me
1. After my PC plays the wav file, I don't know how to shut the line
2. I cannot accept a second call. To be able to accept a second call I have to terminate the program and run it again
Can you please help me?
I understand that you wrote the code for Tapi Telephone Answering System 12-13 years ago.
Can you please take a short look in your code and tell me how I can shutdown the line using code right after my PC plays a wav file?
I really don't know how to do it.
Can your program answer and identify those damn pesky fraudulent callers by automatically identifying them? I would like to track them down,via reverse phone listings.Anyway to identify the calling number?
