Circuit Cellar Ink is a hardware/software magazine with an 'I'd rather
build it myself' attitude. The technical level of most of the construction
articles is somewhere between Radio Electronics Magazine and a BSEE.
They are at (215)630-1914.

The article in question, Feb/Mar issue 19, pg.22, 'A PC Stopwatch', details
a software controlled stopwatch which one could use to measure run times
of program segments as well as other things I suppose. I just took the
left half of their schematic ( the bus interface/address decode section ) and
spliced my DTMF decoder to it. Now that I look at it, the interface is
pretty simple, I'd just never 'hacked' one before.

The board ran all weekend time/date stamping DTMF transmissions over the
local police channels and worked well. ( NO the goal is not to record
numbers dialed on cordless phones, though the board will work well in
that application, this is a telemetry project).

Someday my sysadm will decide this is a 'real' problem. :-)
