Tapi dialer - Dialer.exe replacement

[Sympology]

Here's the backgound. I've got outlook dialing nicely via our Tapi interface. I can get dialer.exe to work as well.
After a lot of research I found a way of getting callto: to work from a hyperlink.

Now I just need the final bit.

As the script calls dial.exe (a basic version on the default dialer.exe), it pops up all the clutter associated with this.

Does anyone know of a dialer that just runs in the background or a way of getting dial(er).exe to run silently?
So basically callto would call on this to dial the tapi service.
Ideally the app would be very cheap (read free).

thanks for any help:

Most people spend their time on the "urgent" rather than on the "important."

dont know if you got this sorted but i did this recently and was impressed with the software someone posted a link to for me

I was using the Avaya tapi drivers, but i cant see that being a problem as this is a 3rd party app.

Never argue with an idiot. bystanders won't be able to tell the difference.

I tried using the dialer.exe with access and the popups from dialer were becoming a pain so I was able to use modCOMM

and did the dialing in the command line of VBA

    strData = "ATDT" & "1" & WorkPhone & "," & vbCrLf
    intPortID = 3
    
    lgnStaus = CommOpen(intPortID, "com" & CStr(intPortID), "Baud=9600 Parity+N Data=8 Stop=1")

     call CommClose(intPortID)

this let me treat the dialing like a modem and I didn't need tapi either.
