What is the cheapest solution that you can suggest that will allow me
to make more phone calls per hour than I am currently dialing
manually. My budget is $300 to $1200

I own a small outbound only call center with as many as 1-3 people on
the phones at a time.Would MS Excell Dialler and Act do the job. I own
a brand new computer; a P3 2 Gig and a P3 500

1. I require a comparison of the various dialer software programs that
are available to purchase.

2. Why do some solutions involve buying a piece of hardware and software?
