How to send DTMF while in a call


 
How to send DTMF while in a call Post Reply

I have been looking around and my heads' spinning.
All I want to do is make a call thru a pc modem, then send various
dtmf during that call - I only want to call once. I have to clear many
workorders using TT phone. Is tedious and would like to semi-automate
it. I thought this would be easy but seems not to be. I read its hard
to send additional tones after a call is made and connected. Really?
Or is this old info? I wouldn't have thought so - just need to
substitute me pressing phone buttons.
I tried "DTMF Dial" free s/w but that only generates tones thru the pc
speakers. I would like to redirect those tones to the call made by the
modem and still hear all of it? Is there anyone doing this and can
recommend some application?
Holding up a phone to the speakers like the DTMF Dial solution is no
good.
What's nice tho in DTMF Dial is that you can quickly copy/paste codes,
numbers etc right into a simple ini file and then it shows up as ph
number memories. That's really important.
Anyone?

Thanks;
Travis

Actually what's REALLY important with what I'm looking for is the
point I made about being able to quickly add a long list of numbers
etc as with "DTMF Dial"'s ini file. Yes I could probably do ATDT
commands to send dtmf codes but that would be very clumsy and not very
efficient since I also have to do it for a long list of numbers and
likely show my partner whose not very computer illiterate how to do
it! If DTMF Dial could redirect to a modem that's already connected,
that would be amazing!
Anyone know of something like that?

Thanks;
Travis

This is a programming forum.  If you are looking to write a program using
TAPI to do this then please post with questions.  Otherwise you have the
wrong forum.

Travis,

you might want to go and look through some of the TAPI samples:

http://www.tapi.info/default.aspx/TAPI/PSDKSamples.html

There is also a DTMF sample which might help you.


Best regards,

Matthias Moetje
