Free Modem Dialer

Question

Is there a telephone application for modems that can receive a phone number as a parameter and manage the call for themselves? I ask because in my application I must implement a click2call functionality and may be is a free software out there that I can use and I do not have to fight with TAPI. Thanks!

Answer 1

Here are a few wrappers available to abstract away the complicated parts of using TAPI.

Normally, the domain of C/C++ programmers, this wrapper code will allow you to skip all the complexity and get to work straight away.

Answer 2

WombatDialer does something like that for the Asterisk platform and has powerful APIs - see http://www.wombatdialer.com/manuals/WD_UserManual-chunked/ar01s08.html

It manages the call flow internally (scheduling, error conditions) and sends HTTP notifications of events.
