Anybody know if it's possible in VDS to dial the modem and when someone
at the other end answers play a wav file to them?

Thanks,

If I'm not mistaken the VDSRAS.DLL will allow VDS to dial a modem. I've
not tinkered with this dll, and I'm not sure if the name is right either, so
I'm not sure if there's a means to tell if the reciever was picked up on the
other end or not.

I believe that would be a function of the modem... In other words, the hardware would have to support that. I doubt that any standard modem would support it, but I have seen PC cards, generally designed for voice mail systems, that I bet would...

I believe that any TAPI compliant modem will be able to do this !

I once made a program in VDS doing exactly this - I think I used one of Tommy's DLL from one of this DLL Packs ? Unfortunately, I do no have access to the source at present

What I am planning here is a home security system.

Web cams setup throughout the house taking shots every 1/2 second,
images are compared and if any major differences, then something has
moved in the view of the cam.

Computer dials owner's cell phone and gives an audio alert.

I have everything but the playing of a wav file over the modem for the
audio alert.

Hi Garrett
VDSras I think is for w98se only, but I had a hard time even locating it about a year ago, forget what the problem was relating finding it.

vdsvoice.dll by Tommy Sools can do exactly what you are looking for, and you could also implement call backs to cancel or reset your alarm system i'm sure.

I have the orignal dll from tommy, i have a huge archive of most vds dll's over the years, including most versions of the dll's

(i've always kept them because you just never know Smile

)

Hi Nathan,

Yup, that's what I need. I'll check my archives to see if I have it already.

Thanks,

Find attached the original vdsvoice.dll created by Tommy in 1998 !.

I'm not sure if it works with VDS5, but you can try Smile
