This is a very easy technical question.  That is, I will be happy with a 
confirmed yes or no.  I want to write a program so that I can phone my
computer from anywhere and enter key sequences on a touch-tone phone.  Of
course I want the computer to be able to recognize what keys are being 
pressed.  I know that a modem will automajically answer the phone, but does
it have the ability to recognize touch-tones after it answers?  If the 
answer is yes then I am willing to take it from there, I just don't want
to spend time trying to figure out how to do something that cannot be done.

thanks in advance.  Oh, if you wish you *could* give me a few hints as to
how to do it.
