VFP and TAPI

Explore the Way2Call Hi-Phone Desktop device here: (main page, )
and the Exceletel TAPI wrappers here:
(Regular "voice modems" rarely turn out TAPI-compatible enough to work as any more than an answering machine or phone dialer... for example, there's no way to determine when the phone has been picked up on the other end after initiating a call, so some True Telephony device is needed. The HiPhone is the only reasonably-priced one I've found)
(The Exceletel wrappers make TAPI manageable from VFP, where the direct API calls turn into a jungle quickly if you try to use it directly)
