You will need to clarify some things further here.  Would the local PC be making the call or would the server that is serving the HTTP requests be making the call?  If local I'd look into doing something in Java, although I suspect the browsers applet security will lock out Java from accessing a modem.  If the server at the other end is to make a call, then look into CGI scripts - most likely done with C/C++ (I don't know how well Perl is equipped to handle modems/phones).

From there of course it boils down to a programming language specific question.

Thanks for answering my question.  I am crating a web page for my
University and what.   Making the calls I mentioned in my
questions will be from within the university web site, which
means that the user will be already loged in to the university
server when he/she is making the phone call.

two types of calls to be made :
1. PC call
2. Server call
