Windows Telephony Overview
Summary
The Telephony API was designed to provide call control and media access to
line, phone, address and call objects over multiple telephone networks using
many different kinds of connections models. It was designed to be platform
independent, but has only been implemented for various flavors of Windows. To
overcome specific device sharing problems encountered in Windows 3.x, TAPI
provides extensive support for sharing using line ownership privileges.
