Leopard-compatible product (Dialectic) is now released - Version: 3.7.2, 4/8/2008 09:38AM PST
pg99--2008
The developer of JPT has just released his new, Leopard-compatible dialer app - Dialectic: http://www.jonn8.com/dialectic/ . Completely rewritten, lots of new features, launches faster, better sharing of modem with other programs, caller id support, etc. As with any rewrite of this magnitude, there are likely still some bugs, so be sure to try with your configuration before you buy, as the developer (Jon) recommends. But, Jon has a good track record for support - definitely contact him if you run into any problems. I definitely am happy with the new version.
Using JPT to dial via JaJah - Version: 3.7.2, 1/22/2008 12:00AM PST

JaJah isn't mentioned in JPT's help facility, so I contacted the author.
If you would like to use JPT with JaJah, please find below details of how to do so. Most of the instructions are from the Jon Nathan [whom I have found always to be VERY responsive BTW]; I tweaked the URL to get the country code to work. This assumes the phone number are in your Address Book and formatted +country code-area code-number (the + is optional but good practice if you sync your Address Book to your mobiles...)
First, in the
URL Dial Method settings, configure it like so:
URL: http://www.jajah.com/members/?d=%2b%#
Contact Name Encoding: None
Call URL: Using Default Browser
Next, in your Dialing Rules, set the Dial Method for each call type (e.g.,
Local, Long Distance, etc.) to use the URL Dial Method. Also make sure that
you leave the prefix for the long distance or local calls blank (e.g., don't
include "1" or any other character).
When you dial a number with JPT now, the JAJAH site should open in your
default web browser with the number you are dialing inserted in the form.
For more information (on the URL feature, not use with JaJah), please see the JPT documentation:
<http://www.jonn8.com/jpt/ug/dm_url.html>
PS: I also use JPT to dial using GizmoProject, which also requires the use of the URL feature in JPT. Having to manually type in the URL string when changing from GIZMO to JAJAH is a pain. I raised this with the author. The next version of JPT (DIALECTIC) will allow multiple URL preferences to be stored and used in any combination with the Dial Methods.

Works great with Broadvoice and Apple USB Modem

This new version works great with my Broadvoice service. I also have an Apple external USB Modem and they work well together. The developer is also very good about getting back to you with any questions or concerns. Well worth the money!
Addendum to USB External - Version: 3.7.2, 3/6/2007 10:17AM PST

First I appologize to readers for the multiple post - this was caused by my inability to delete my previous comments...
JPT still does not work on my system. After lengthy and time consuming exchange of emails, logs and tests the developer could not find anything wrong with his software and I lost patitence after producing several detail logs and descriptions of my problem.
The advice here is TRY before you BUY. It may be that the software is not compatible with the external modem or the Intel processor.
I now use a different software product.

It worked great with the internal modem on my previous iMac 20" PPC but no matter what I did, it simply does not work with this modem. Support non existent.

I've just undertaken a global interview study from a database of corporate leaders. It took me a bit to set up all the rules since I wanted to work from FileMaker Pro and allocate calls to skype and vonage, though still have access to good old phone. Jon responded so patiently to my questions and always provided very detailed and absolutely easy to understand steps. Great support, and the product made life easy and accounted for huge savings. I could't be more pleased.

Couldn't get it to work - 2 e-mails to the programmer - no answer whatsoever.
Forget it.

Just what I needed… - Version: 3.5.1, 10/21/2006 11:19AM PST

Like Jon's other products, JPT is well thought out, works as promised, and can be customized to meet the user's needs.
Other dialers exist; some contact management programs contain their own. So why JPT?
Easy answer. It works. It makes built-in dialers work better, and has more features than any other similar product I've tried.
I highly recommend, at the very least, giving JPT a try. I'm guessing, like me, you'll buy it before the demo expires.

Working with Skype and with other VOIP services seems to be a snap. It looks up the phone numbers from my addressbook and then dials on whatever service I need based on intelligent criteria. It solves problems I have had for years, and some I did not realize I had. Leaps tall buildings with a single bound. Pretty impressive. Thanks, Jon. from Steve from Austin
It is a bit more complicated than most Mac applications, so could use a bit more in the instructional area.
