Re: Programming voicemail software

It will probably depend on whether your modem supports those functions as
well--since there is a hardware dependency involved. There are Microsoft
libraries that support various telephony functions. Don't know if they come
by default with any particular development package.

I'd search the web for telephony libraries, check the information that comes
with your modem on its capabilities, check the company's web site to see if
they have API libraries for interacting with their hardware.
