TAPI is divided into call control and media control. Media control offers f
acilities such as writing an incoming fax directly to disk and faxing files. Call control enables you to mix and match communications applications and have them share the same port and modem. TAPI handles call control by replacing the ATDT dial string and the ATH disconnect string with function calls. Eventually, the TAPI DLL will enable advanced media control. The biggest advantages offered by TAPI are multitasking of different fax and data applications, hardware independence, and ease of modem installation.
