what is JTAPI ?

[Mahmoud Hadad]

hi all,
i have two small questions about the JTAPI.can JTAPI be used on computers connected to phone socket(i mean from a pc to the phone socket that is located on the wall) to make calls and so on?if it can then why am i getting this exception:
Can't get provider javax.telephony.JtapiPeerUnavailableException: JtapiPeer: DefaultJtapiPeer could not be instantiated.
i was trying to run the example called OutCall in the JTAPI documentation.

and if it can't then how can i make an application that makes a call for example from my pc that is connected to the phone socket that is connected to the wall.(PC/Modem/Phone Socket) ??

Writing Java that can control a modem probably requires the COMM api - assuming that the modem "lives" on a serial port. Sun used to provide a COMM package but dropped it. You
can try the rxtx web site here for a serial port control package.

You have to find out how your internal modem is configured. In windows,
use the control panel - Phone and Modem options - modems tab. In one of
my machines it shows the internal modem is configured as COM3 - a
serial port.
Therefore you would use the COMM API to talk to COM3 to control the
modem.
