As I am not running KDE4 (yet?) I cannot test this option. I would
however like a feature in an telecom application whereby selecting a
telephone number from an address book would cause the application to
dial that number to be used from an ordinary voice telephone. In the
90s WordPerfect Office on DOS had such a feature which I found very useful.
The feature would presumably have to give the user the option to choose
between a voice call and a data call. For the former the modem would
cut out once the voice phone is picked up; whereas for data calls the
modem would stay on line to transmit the data.
A related question: I do not (yet?) use modems for data transmission.
When I do I would want to use the same POTS line for both voice and data
calls. Can modems now tell the difference between incoming voice and
data calls, intercept and process the data calls and let the voice calls
through to the POTS and so to a voice telephone?
