Well, we do not use it for Dial-up, we only had one application used for dialing, it was a SMS Pager utility that I wrote using the TAP protocol, and it worked OK but we never actually used it, for We finally decided for the E-Mail approach, something I kind of regret.

Now for telephony I am about to use an OCX called ExceleTel (http://exceletel.com/), I just shyly started a program yesterday (We had our JumpStart class on Thursday)
