However, I saw a posting from someone else wanting to do this sort of thing. I think it was in sci.electronics or rec.dcom.telecom, but I can't find it now. Anyway, a company called TELTONE makes a device which plugs into a phone line, and has an RS232 port. As I remember, it could send and receive DTMF (touch-tone) signals as commanded by the RS232 port. I don't remember what other things it could do, but at the time it sounded pretty neat. It was just a few weeks ago that I saw it. Good luck. -hans ======================================================================== Hans-Gabriel Ridder Digital Equipment Corporation ridder@elvira.enet.dec.com Customer Support Center ...decwrl!elvira.enet!ridder Colorado Springs, CO
