Our company is a Telecommunications company, provideing telephone systems for medium to large businesses. We are currently involved in pre-implementation of a system that the customer would like to use ColdFusion to dial out from. Internally, they are a heavy user of Coldfusion database and would like the ability to dial from their desktop telephone via the application. This would require TAPI or ODBC integration.

My question is this: Does Coldfusion support TAPI? If yes, where can I locate documentation for my customer?
Same question for ODBC. An are ther DLL's that can be provided to assist?

    ColdFusion has no direct support for TAPI, that I am familar with. However, coldfusion has the ability to use java objects including classes and taglibs. So, any existing java classes and taglibs could be used through the cfobject tag or createobject function.

    ColdFusion is an application server and not a database. So, I am not sure exactly what your ODBC question is. ColdFusionMX7 (cfmx7) has an ODBC client/server mechanism that allows you to connect to ODBC datasources. However CFMX7 is a java application running ontop of J2EE servers. Being java, JDBC is the prefered method of database connectivity from CFMX. ODBC works, but has its limits and is not recommended.

    There is a Java TAPI which Sun documents here.
