Hi all,
I am in urgent need to set-up my pc to "play" a number unobtainable tone (NU) to answer a normal incoming telephone call. The call rings into the voice modem, (tapi) and, I can buy plenty of software to answer it with mail boxes etc., however, all I wish to do is play to the incoming call the 800cycles NU tone, - which I already have as a wav file.
Is there any way I can do this simply using XP pro please?
Many thanks for your help.

why do you want to do this ?
there where a number of scams with engaged tones etc - where people where changed for expensive numbers and thought they had not got through but had a recieved a big bill at the end of a quarter

also remove your email, you will get spam

Genuine:
I have a phone line which I do not wish to close. (it will cost me to have it reconnected) and, for a short time only I wish to deter the callers.
(a large number of selling cold calls, debt relief, double glazing, etc, etc. also many unwanted fax calls.)
If someone is doing something "unusual" it does not necessarily mean they are up to anything wrong. This is my first post and was not aware my email was not allowed; how do I delete it? Hope this answers your concerns.

which is why I asked for clarification ..Thanks for the reply

robots look through forums and harvest emails to use for spam, real email address are always valuable to spammers

Why have it answer at all?

[callsave]

Because they are so persistent.
10 calls in 2 days from the same company - and I have TPS !
They sound mostly from abroad; likely voip; so it costs them probably very little, so what have they got to lose!
These "sales" calls come at lunch time, in the shower, late evenings. etc.. etc. They fill up the answer machine, they are an unwanted time waste, and, they will not take no for an answer, even to the point of being rude to them.
I do not have caller ID - so the next call may be from a relative,... etc.
I thought a week or so of NU just MAY give them the message.
Please; could the next person offer something constructive, please?

If you're not going to answer any of the calls, unplug the phone!

Perhaps if you explained the situation a bit better, we could offer something constructive. What you're saying doesn't make much sense...

We could talk all night like this, (like the phone) simple enough to say I wish to put nu on my phone line, can anyone help me please? Fair?
