Re: TAPI

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Angus,

1) Ok, if i have Avaya G3PD driver (definity driver) can i write
applications that makes TAPI calls. Further, i beleive, when TAPI client uses
any TAPI calls TAPISrv loads this Dll... Correct if i am wrong...

2) Can you explain me why Vendors comeup with products like CTConnect and
Avaya CenterVu CT? Both of them are TServers. Is it really tough to write
TServer which uses TAPI and to communicate with different Switch?

3) Whats this TSAPI? In one of the discussion forum i saw that for TSAPI we
need Avaya CenterVu CT. Why?

I am bit confused abt the approach and arch. Please throw some light

Thanx
