SUMMARY
Windows 95 includes a telephony utility that can be run from Control Panel,
but is not available by default. The telephony utility can be used for
troubleshooting telephony-related issues.
MORE INFORMATION
To add the Telephony icon to Control Panel, rename Telephon.cp$ in the
Windows\System folder to Telephon.cpl, and then restart Control Panel.
If you have a 16-bit Telephony application programming interface (TAPI)
service provider already installed on your computer when you upgrade to
Windows 95, you may experience problems with your 32-bit communication
applications (such as HyperTerminal, Phone Dialer, and Dial-Up Networking).
You can use the Telephony icon in Control Panel to determine if you have a
16-bit TAPI service provider installed and to remove your 16-bit TAPI
service provider(s) to eliminate problems with 32-bit communication
programs. However, removing your 16-bit TAPI service provider may prevent
16-bit TAPI-aware programs from functioning properly. If you are having
TAPI-related problems, Microsoft recommends that you rebuild Telephon.ini
using the steps outlined in the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

removed.
