How to dial, using a modem

[Anders Englund]

How do I do this? I need to be able to dial a certain number, without getting any dialogue boxes (Windows internal ones). Plus, I need to know how to hang up. Does anyone have a good example of this.

Thanks, but doesn't this just dial the default internet provider? What I actually intend to do is dial a number from a list, with a voice modem. I'll be doing the communication myself, not the computer. I just need the computer to dial for me.

It can be done using TAPI, but when dialing with LineMakeCall, a dialog box is automatically displayed, with options to hang up and so. Is there a way to diable this?

Why not use the Microsoft Comm Control?

[ycsim]

you can juz send data to the modem using the mscomm

[Joacim Andersson]

If you send "ATDT" + the number to dial to the MSComm object it will call that number!!!

Yea, I have found a solution, which will dial and hang-up. But I would really like to use TAPI instead, since it can handle more than modems. It also would handle, for example, IP-phoneing (not sure if that's the actual word).
