I agree that it would be nice to have those codes work.  But I have a
question: When I dial a number, the Mac's speaker makes the right beeping
noises, which is fun for awhile.  Now, can someone tell me how to connect
it to my telephone so it will really dial a number for me?  I seem to recall
that there is a gizmo to do the trick, but I can't remember its name or
where to get it.
