Hi Listers

In Windows 98/98SE, Microsoft provide a very useful Utility called Phone
Dialer made up of two small Files - dialer.exe and dialer.ini - which allows
you to use your Modem with an appropriate Headset plugged directly into it
as a 'normal' Telephone with Phone Dialer doing as it says allowing the
Keyboard to dial the Number.

I have reason to use this Facility on my newer PC which runs Windows XP (+
SP2) but this little Utility does not appear to be present. Is there such an
Utility hidden away in Windows XP and, if so, how do I find it? If not, is
it possible to copy a Copy of the two Files from the PC running Windows 98SE
into the same Folder (Windows) on the XP PC and use the 'original Phone
Dialer? Alternatively is there a Utility available which works with Windows
XP - my need is for something which will work directly with my Dial Up Modum
to make it a 'Telephone' not involving the Sound Card etc.

Any advice very much appreciated.

Best Wishes

KEITH
