What I found on the internet didn't show that modem as TAPI compliant. It may be but it didn't say anything about that in the specs. That's the first thing to check.
Don
I search a fair bit, and what I found was that I is not 100%TAPI compliant, I found some "alternate" software would work quite well, but all ran into problems. When testing for compliance/ support I queried using the AT commands. The modem does not support the featires required, in particular the AT#CLS command is not supported
The is the diagnostic output from may machine running the lattest driver from dell.

Apparently there are some 3rd party drivers arround, but I found an alternate method to acheive what I needed so I didn't persure it any further.
If I need to, I will just purchase one of the "supported/known to work modems" as they are not very expensive, and I was spending way to much time on the problem.
