Computer as phone switchboard..

[SudburyOntario]

Here is my idea..

I have the phone through my internet provider, it's not Voip but rather phone through cable.

So what I want to do it hook that into my computer & run a program which selects which person to call, press 1 for tim, press 2 for allan.. I could use two dial up cards for the connection to the main line and have the second seperate line in card # 2..

If you understood that so far, let me know what options I have.. Thanks

start, run, dialer.exe

Oh, I read that wrong, you want an IVR to speak "Press 1 for Tim". Yeah, go astrisk. Still funny though, I can't believe Dialer is still in Vista.
