I've been using Hypercard for my address list but due to
its limitation I need to get a DB program (maybe Filemaker).
I'll be using the DB program not just for address lists,
so specificically designed address program is out of the question.

One thing I need to be sure: Is FileMaker able to
dial a modem given a phone number? If not, is it possible
to write a small routine to do that?
What about other reasonably priced DB progs?
