Arev 3.12 Running on Win98 & WinXp
We are looking into getting new phone system NEC UX5000
My question to the Salesman was Can I Send this Phone System a phone number to call from each workstation. (My thought is if Arev knows the phone number of the contact within the current window then can I (through softkey and some rbasic programming) Dial that phone number.
His answer to me is "yes if your program is TAPI compliant"
I've programmed (win98) out the com ports to setup devices, Used command to send an email with the clipboard full of data to be pasted into the emails message area, but this one I am clueless.
So my question is, is there away to get Arev to:
1) via TAPI send a phone number to call
2) via TAPI get caller Id (this is after thought)
If so how?
Thanks

By far the easiest way for an AREV developer to do this would be to use OpenInsight to communicate with the Windows Telephony Application Programming Interface and write intermediate results to a shared table for AREV to pickup. Alternatively you could use a low level programming language to do the same via DOS files or the clipboard. Or you could move your app to AREV32 (a lot easier than it has been with OI 8.07) and make direct TAPI calls from there.

]move your app to AREV32
Want to do it, Going to do it,
My plan is Get eval from Rev cost of conversion Arev to Arev32
Buy/Install Win2K Server Box, Universal Driver (flavor unknown)
Load all files and test with New Arev32 converted system.
If all works then move to things like TAPI
Thanks for responding.
