I want to dial phone numbers from within documents (usually web pages).
I'd like to second the request. I spent enough time to know that there was no way I was going to make it happen in AppleScript. I have been looking at writing an MPW tool for the purpose but I have to learn what happened to .aout and .bout first and a tool won't help folks who don't choose run their machines from MPW.
I understand that visual basic (Excel to me) allows one to "OPEN COM1" followed by "PRINT ATDT5551212" and get to a modem which somehow understands a machine with zero serial ports. I haven't tried it.
I have also looked at scripting FAXstf, which I sometimes use, but got nowhere.
As far as I know the control panel DialAssist knows nothing about AppleScripting.
