SYMPTOMS
When a TAPI3 application tries to make an interactive call over a data modem, the operation may not be successful. Specifically, the call may remain stuck in an &quot;in progress&quot; state. No dialog box is ever displayed.



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the Unimodem driver lacks the code to display the Talk/Drop dialog box when an interactive voice call is made over a data modem.
