[Tutor] A Telephony Question

[Lloyd Kvam]

I can't address using TAPI.  If you are using a simple pager service
where the pager message is numbers typed using touch tones, then this
approach may be OK (I used it years ago with a Perl script).

The modem is a comm (serial) device.  Open the COM port and send
ATDT<phone number>,,,,,,<each comma forces a pause><number for message>
then send
ATH0<hang up>

Most modems support a command stream along these lines.
