Isn't that what I just said?

I don't think HC has any voice modem telephony capability.  Maybe I 
missed it.

As for the dial command, for the Old Macs, it is straightforward to 
make one, use "modem:".  For OS X and for Windows you need to find the 
modem.  That is easy in OS X.  It shouldn't be too hard for Windows.

The first one doesn't have to be multi-platform.  Maybe it doesn't even 
have to find the modem.

Of course, it will be just as limited as the HC version.
