Most of the .NET related stuff that I found indicated you should be using the COM Interop rather than TAPI.

However, I did find this. Hopefully it will help.

Check out this site:

Plus, check out the Hayes AT Commands.

You will need to listen to the port and use the datarecieved event when a call comes in.

I am currently working on a similar thing for the compact framework so I can't tell you much more than that, because I haven't gotten it all figured out, yet.

Also, if you cut out the spaces and dashes in your write method it will transmit less data. They aren't needed.

Hope that helps.

First read this posting: http://vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=463392
That should get you started with the Serial Port in .NET.

What I think you will need is a plain old standard voice modem. I would suggest something like a Hayes Accura V.90 but if you already have one you'll just need to check out the set up strings and tell the modem to auto answer and NOT to negotiate. Recording the call is something else and I can't help you with that piece. Maybe your voice modem can do it.

I am looking into the Skype API to do something very similar but I have not figured it out yet.

Good luck,

Ike

thanks for all repls i will try it
if i success i will tell you and please if any one did it before just tell us how ??

I figured out how to answer a call automatically with Skype. If that will help you PM me for the code. I'm not posting it on the forum since nobody helped me figure it out when I asked for help.

That's probably because no one knew the answer.
If you have discovered something that no one could help you with then if you were to post the answer more people could learn from it.
