Hello,

I dont know outcall but i can show you an alternative which really works
nice for my needs.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/siptapi/

this small program use the windows TAPI interface and dials out via sip.
But it only works for outgoing calls in the freeware version. For
inbound you have to buy it.

best regards

Stefan
