Hi, 

I was just wondering -- is there a program out there that will
act as a phone dialing interface, accessing the modem?

My phone is set up on tone, but the * key is screwed because
that's the memory key.  My school uses phone registration and
requires the * key (the # key on my phone is ok).  I'd like a 
program that looks like a keypad and lets you dial a number, 
then maintains the phone line and lets you dial digits, like
7923#
2*415620600#
9#
the above sequence would register cpsc 620 in the 92 fall semester
at a&m for example.

I tried using kermit, but I got only as far as atm2, which sets up
the speaker to be on all the time, and then I managed to call the
registration computer.  But then when I tried to give an action
code, I used atdt7923#, which disconnects the line.

Any suggestions/ideas?
Please email and post optionally.
Thanks,
Andrew.
