Hey all and thanks for reading,

I'm a complete beginner and i'm just wondering if there is commercial software available which would allow incoming telephone calls to register on a PC? So if i called a set number, i could effectively ring my computer at home, which would in turn ring a set number of other numbers with a standard message.

The reason i would like this is because in work if a machine goes down i might have to call 8 people. What i'd like to do is find or get a programme made that alerts everybody from a single phone call from me. I'd be a real time saver.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

What you're looking for is something known as a predictive or auto dialer. Just do a search for "auto dialer" and you'll see a ton of options.
