Can a squarewave output be used to reliable generate
touch tones?  I'm planning on writing some machine code
software for an HP48 calculator that would do the following:
  scan two sine wave tables ( or use two pointers into a single table )
  add the two together, and turn the speaker on whenever the sine
  is positive.  

This would be basically a cliped version of the dual done MTMF signal.
Anyone know if this will be too distorted for the phone company to accept?
