What is a TAPI service provider (TSP)?
The term “service provider” is nothing more than a fancy name for a driver. A TAPI service provider (TSP) is a driver that allows TAPI applications to communicate with different types of TAPI hardware. Windows 95 and NT come with a built in TSP called Unimodem. Unimodem is a “universal” modem service provider that supports a wide range of commonly used modems. When using telephony hardware other than modems, such as PBX’s, voice processing cards, etc. you will typically use a TSP provided by the hardware vendor.
