call a contact

[Peter]

Please help I'm going mad
When I select the call contact item in outlook this is
what happens.
I hear the dial tone then the number being dailed then
absolutly nothing no ringing or engaged signal nothing.
What am I doing wrong

This does not sound like an Outlook problem if the number is passed to the
modem. After that, the Windows dialer takes over. Try an OS group to
troubleshoot.

After placing the call you need to pick up a handset - Outlook doesn't
generally support speaker phone, although some speakerphone modems may in
WinXP.
