There is a command-line tool "dialer.exe" that comes with Windows that
allows you to dial through TAPI:

    "dialer.exe 555-555-5555"

as you suggest. There would be no reason to use this in Outlook though
as Outlook can call into the TAPI subsystem natively, and does so by
default if you correctly configure your "Phones and Modems" under
Control panel, and have a suitable TAPI module configured to talk to
your PABX.

If you are missing the TAPI component, Google "Xtelsio" or "Activa TSP"
