I'm sorry to stray from the topic of MCSD certification, but I thought this
was a prudent place to pose this question, given the audience. I am attempting to design a dial-up based software package which communicates with several ascii-based protocol services (GlobalPay, Vital (VisaNet), etc.). My question is, does .NET provide any abstraction for TAPI? I've noticed there is no direct port I/O (although System.IO.Ports is supposed to be added with Whibley) so communicating directly with the modem doesn't seem possible via any .NET method (other than p invoke). I would think .NET would include some method, other than platform invoke, to harness the power of modem communications. Thanks in advance for any non-flame responses. -- Clint Clint |

Hope you get an answer.....I'm curious about that
