I am attempting to call my contacts through Outlook. I have a Netcom 9350
usb/tel headset. Outlook dials and connects with the number fine. I can hear
my voice on the speaker system, when I click talk, the phone hangs up. I have
a Sound Blaster Audgy sound card.

That would be expected. Outlook uses the Windows dialer, which has no
support for voice modems. It can dial and connect. Period.

Thanks for your input. it there any hope of making it work? Like another
porgram that can dial using my outlook contacts?

I doubt it. Outlook can only use the Windows dialer. Whether anyone had
developed third party software to support voice modems from Outlook is
anyone's guess.
