How about trying the reverse of this. Write a program to produce the 
right frequency sounds on your sound card. Then download programs for 
say, the C64, and write those programs to a cassette tape using your 
sound card program. If this works correctly, the C64 shoudl be able to 
read the tape. Viola!!! You've got it. (PS, I *know* viola is *not* the 
right word--that is an *intentional* malapropism for the sake of humor.)
