Re: dial a telephone number using the modem,and playing an audio file when the person lifts up telepone

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



It's possible, but you're not going to make many friends doing it. Also, if
you're looking for VB code this is not the right forum as mostly we discuss
MFC topics here (I apologize if this is cross-posted and I just didn't see
that it was in the right place as well).

You would need some sort of hardware to help you with this program since you
won't be able to do anything except check for an answer with a modem. There
are some modems that can detect "VOICE" and send that back as a response,
but the technology is not perfect and people aren't putting a lot of effort
into dial up modems these days.
