Sorry if this is offtopic.
I'm developing a website which, among other things, has contacts. I
would like my users to be able to click on a number and have the
computer dial that number. Is this possible? At least in Windows? Any
suggestions are appreciated.
(Can this be done with a trusted java applet?)
Many thank in advance!

Not if they're using the modem to be online.

So you want it to be possible for someone to land on your web page, and
then your program hangs up their modem and makes international phone
calls? I suppose a followup question is how to suppress the dialtone
sound so that people don't know you are doing this.

So are you saying that this is impossible because of security
concerns? Is there any solution if you make some assumptions. I'm
writing an web application which is only accessible on the local
network and used by about 10 people.

I hope this is impossible, but the browser makers often surprise us and
themselves with what they do make possible. With Microsoft, there is
always a way. Where do you want to go today?
Your best bet is to trick your users into accepting the installation of
a trojan horse which will, as an .exe, then have unlimited access to all
of the capabilities of their machines, with unlimited potential for
mischief and destruction. Email attachments are very popular. http://www.crockford.com/

If it is on a local Intranet, refer the OP to HTAs.

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was a way to auto-dial a list of numbers and play a
recorded message to them.
asp.net can email, fax.. so i'm guessing it must be able to dial a regular
phone number too, it's just how do I play some audio once a connection has
been made..
any ideas??

Hi Guys,
I;m a bit out of my depth here and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
We have an Oracle Database and want to put a button on the form to dial the number in the box. the phone system uses a TAPI interface and I can get other windows apps to dial numbers.
I cant find anything on how to go about doing it in Oracle, just VB.
Thanks in advance

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
