Product Description:
Dialectic is a versatile tool that unites your Mac, data, and phones (mobile, landline, & VoIP) enabling you to be more productive. It allows you to find, select & dial numbers using many devices and services. With robust dialing rules, it determines the call type (e.g., local or long-distance), transforms the number as required (adds prefixes to the number, etc.) and routes it to the appropriate phone. When dialing, it can automatically configure your system (e.g., pause iTunes, change iChat's status, etc.) and restore it when the call is done. There's also an Address Book menu providing system-wide access to your contacts. Quickly see information, copy or insert it into your current document, initiate a call or email, find addresses on a map & more. Dialectic integrates with most contact managers, databases, & other applications, has a comprehensive call log, notepad, call timer, & much, much more. With its AppleScript support it is easily integrated into your workflow.
What's new in this version:
- Added AppleScript commands to pause and restore incoming call detection on all modems to allow better compatibility with other modem-related software
- Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect dialing string to be sent to an iPhone when using a comma pause
- Fixed a bug that prevented multiple status windows from tiling correctly

I gave this a try since Tidbits recommended it. It didn’t work for me. So I quit it and trashed it. Shortly after that I rebooted and checked my system (OS-X 10.5.1) with DiskUtility. It got caught in an endless lope of reporting the same error. I rebooted; tried to repair things with the correct version of DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro. Neither could do anything with my HD. I know port hoc, ergo propter hoc is a logical fallacy, but prior to Dialectic I had had no troubles and afterward the pain to resstoring from back up a ravaged system. So I pass this on in the hopes of helping others.

As the title says, a terrific little application; one that has earned its place as one of my login items. No more dialing or misdialing; no programming of speed-dials, just a click in my OS X Address Book and in seconds I'm talking on either my cordless or landline.
Many many functions, but the ease of dialing via USB modem is well worth the price of admission.
A worthy successor to Jon's Phone Tool (the previous incarnation) that also comes with a friendly, responsive developer.
Go, buy, exalt.
