What is TAPI?

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. I really like TAPI because of cool features like that. Microsoft extended TAPI to include SmartRing (TM) compatibility and voice capability in UNIMODEM V, available with the Win95 Service Pack. Super cool.
