I am currently using the shareware program Address Book on my macintosh.
It has a dialling feature which puts the tones through the mac's speaker.
The problem I am having is that if I hold the handset of the telephone near the
speaker, then *sometimes* it will dial the number, other times it does nothing
at all.

Does anybody know any reason that this happens ?  If it did not work at all I
would not be surprised, but the fact that sometimes I can make it go makes me
wonder about the reasons. If anybody can help at all, please mail me.

Thanks heaps,
			  Nick.
