In the latest update of AvaPA the TAPI (Telephone interface) has been extended. In simple terms, if you can dial out via Outlook, Sage, Windows dialer, Act or any other software: then you can dial out automatically via AvaPA. AvaPA now supports the full range of standard telephone interfaces available in Windows 2000, XP or Vista.

For this upgrade you need to run a setup file.

Also the client install file should be replaced with a new version.
