- Actually, that is incorrect. Unimodem/V, which is the Telephony
- Service Provider (TSP) that Microsoft just release for Windows 95,
- has calls that allows software to play a "media stream" over a
- connected device. TAPI is much more than "hook your modem up to
- the phone line." It can handle big switches at companies, ISDN lines,
- etc., and does it in a way that eliminates the need for the developer
- to learn everything about it.
-
- Again, TAPI *does* have functions to send media streams to the device.
-
- Check out www.microsoft.com and do a search on TAPI.
