Example CTelephony Notification
This class uses the CTelephony API to get notification when a
phone's voice line status changes.
This class is an active object. You will need to have knowledge of
active objects in order to understand this class. All active
object are derived from CActive.
This program can be easily modified to get notification when other
events occur.
See CTelephony::TNotificationEvent for a list of
events.
