Telephony Application Programming Interface. This cool piece of
Windows 95 lets you use modems and other communication devices easier.
Under TAPI, it's possible to change devices, for example, and not have
to re-configure every piece of software to work with it. You can set
up a single set of dialing rules, or multiple dialing rules based on
your location, and the apps are smart enough to dial long distance as
required. You can run a modem answering program, and quickly dial out
or send a fax without having to shut down the answering program.
