Has anybody been succesfull combining Windows Telephone API (TAPI) with
ruby. What I need is start a ruby program on call and receive a caller
number.
I need to know if this has been done with ruby so I can further decide
on environment to use with application I will propose.

Hi, I've not done this but I have written several applications a few years ago to make use of tapi from vb6. TAPI calls are just like normal win32 calls, and most of the work is with dealing with the returned structures, creating an object model and responding to call backs. All of these things are quite simple in ruby, and a full tapi implementation in a vb6 dll project is about 4000 lines, so with ruby I doubt there would be a problem.
However, it is still a considerable amount of work and I think it would be wise to investigate if there is an existing off the shelf com library that you can call from ruby with win32ole, or a .NET library that you can call with .net bridge, as this would provide the object model for you.

Don't know if you are looking to develop a CTI-type application or just
control a computer's modem, but if it's the former and the phone system
is TSAPI compliant as well I created a Ruby TSAPI library for such a
purpose (http://tsapi.rubyforge.org).

I have an ISDN phone connected to computers RS232 interface and a TAPI
driver. What I would like to achive is when phone rings I could get a
caller number which would than be processed further.

I assume you are referring to a Windows host machine. If so then check
this URL --> Account Suspended. If I were you
I'd find a easy to use COM download and use that to grab the incoming
ANI.
