Introduction
If your computer has a modem, you can use it to dial the phone numbers of contacts in your
Contacts list. Of course, after the number is dialed, you will have to pick up the receiver
to start talking. However, rather than waste time trying to find a phone number or memorizing
it yourself, let Outlook take care of it.
