The "dial" function is built into the Newton OS. I've used it since NOS
1.3... In the call slip, you can choose either modem or speaker, and in
OS 2.x, you can choose to log the call instead, and dial from there.
Very flexible. I used to use this rather extensively, and may in the
future. It's very functional. Unfortunately, it's a world unto itself,
so you can't sync it to your computer. I think that RCU can export the
log file, but that's not the same...
