I have been using the following command to dial the phone for several years.

DECLARE LONG tapiRequestMakeCall IN "TAPI32.DLL" ;
STRING tcPhone, STRING junk, STRING junk2, STRING junk3

RetVal = tapiRequestMakeCall(lcphonenumber,"","","")

During this time it has always worked fine and still does on most of my installations. However, the aquisition of a new Gateway running XP Pro has things messed up. The installation and config of the TAPI drivers is the same as on the other machines, but for some reason when the command calls the windows dialer, the dialer thinks it is making an internet call rather than a call through the phone switch. This results in a "Server is not responding" error.

I'm not sure where to look for the cause of this error and our network administrator (who is very good) can't seem to find it either. We think it may have something to do with a conflict in some of the running services.

Any suggestions?
