This is something I've always wondered about.  Both HyperCard and Rev have
the ability to use a computer's modem to dial a phone number, but that's
pretty much it after that.

Yes, you can send AT and other commands to the modem, but why is there
nothing for playing sounds or receiving touch tones?  This seems like a good
feature to have if it's possible.

Combine that with the Image Capture and the Internet Library, and hey...a
VideoPhone!
