I am writing an Access database, and the user should be able to press a button which will

- Dial a known number (Same no. everytime, presume never busy - easy)

- Send a text file from the disk down the line.

- Hangup.


This should be really simple, but the problem is that the solution must work under Win 3.1. Help anyone?! Can I make calls to the tapi.dll thorugh Access Basic, or can I write something in Pascal which can be called with a Shell command. Can Hyper Terminal take command line parameters?
