How would you code a dialer in blitz that would go thru the internet.

Can anyone shoot me the basics, or instructions...or code if anyone has something to help. Thanks

What do you mean, "code a dialer that would go thru the internet"?

Are you asking about how to initiate a dial-up modem connection, or...?

How to initiate a phone call over the internet using blitz.

I means the process to get from Your blitz code....to dialing out to someone elses phone? Is it like opening a stream up?

Not really -- you'd need to interface with a modem and give it a dial-out string with the numbers... But since it's all hardware dependend (some modems are serial, some are USB, different com ports, etc.) you most likely will need to interface with a system API to initiate all of that... Which will be different under windows, linux and Mac.

I'm sure that it;s technically possible, although it may be a bit hard to find how to do these days since pretty much noone uses dialup modems anymore.

I *think* he's asking about VOIP.

Hard to tell. :-?

Anyway: If you're talking about actually making a Voice-over-IP phonecall where you expect the computer to digitize sound and actually send it to a real phone somewhere, and you're asking in terms this basic on how to do that, then in all reality it's not going to happen.

You could issue a command to a slave application using the execfile() command. Look it up- It may be your only prayer.
Had to say it.
