Hello Grady,

You can Dial a computers modem by sending the ATDT command string to the
appropriate COM port. This will dial your phone, not on the internet. This
site has its own gateway (computer with modem) dialing the number or maybe many gateways for different area codes.

You should be able to run their service programatically usings the examples they supply if thats what you want, the easiest of the methods listed is the HTTP GET but all look VFP compatible with tweaking.

>>Sure. All you need is the right hardware and a couple of lines of code.
