The other application I worked on was for a four port modem system. It was a cheap dialer that monitored the two of the ports. When one came free, it placed the next call and when it got a connect, the system seek the number in a table and populated a form based on the table entries. The common piece here is that we had what ever system that dialed the number either fire a DDE message to a DDE server or seek the data itself. Phone systems like ATT and Siemans (TAPI/TSAPI complient) have the ability to communicate to the network.

Ok, I would not be connected to a network. The two lines would be running directly into the computer. What was the cheap dialer that you used? Assuming, I have one of these phone systems, will I be able to comunicate to VFP that a certain number on the phone was pressed using this DDE message system? I must claim ignorance in regards to DDE. I have very little experience. Can you give me a little more information in regards to DDE? Thanks for all your help. :)
