D

I am trying to see if I can use the automatic dialing feature on Outlook 2007
with a voice over IP line versus a regular phone line. Does anyone know how
to do that? thank you!

Not at Outlook question. Outlook does not dial. That is the responsibility
of the OS dialer, none of which support digital lines that I know of.

Am I to assume Outlook 2007 is capable of dialing a contact directly using a
modem attached to a regular phone line, but the function becomes useless with
a VOIP digital system. VOIP seems much more capable of integration with
Outlook than the old modem-phone system. Please advise.

As I said, Outlook has no dialer and does not dial.

Outlook is capable of dialing on a VoIP modem too, if the modem company
wrote a drive that allows Outlook to use it.

I haven't seen any that have so far, but I don't look very often. Have you
seen any?
Even if there are, Outlook isn't doing any dialing. It just store phone
numbers.

Yes, I have, but they are specific to each VoIP service (just as each modem
driver is specific to the modem). The best place to look is on the VoIP
provider's support site.
