Implement the Full TAPI Interface in Telephony-centric Applications

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Requirement   (Designed for Microsoft® Windows® Logo)

Telephony-centric applications must use the full Windows Telephony API (TAPI) for telephony-related functions. Telephony-centric applications must not control telephony-related equipment through proprietary interfaces, drivers, or APIs other than TAPI.

In particular, the application must not access a modem by directly opening the serial port using the CreateFile function ("COMx"), although a "Direct to COMx" mode may be available for accessing non-modem devices.
