Part of the proposed test procedure for a recent Western Union
terminal adapter consists of telephoning the owner and having
him place the telephone mouthpiece next to the terminal
adapter's monitor speaker.  As result *all* the sounds made by
the terminal adapter must be standardized.  So, the
specification contains:

  2.2.7     Charge Signal

	    Terminal adapters can use their  built-in speaker to
  sound a six-note melody  resembling "Charge."  Any method of
  generating this signal may be used.

	    One way to sound "Charge" is to go on-hook and
  sound  the  following dialing tones:

	    a.  "1", 125 milliseconds
	    b.  "4", 125 ms.
	    c.  "2", 125 ms.
	    d.  "#", 400 ms.
	    e.  Silence, 250 ms.
	    f.  "2", 125 ms.
	    g.  "#", 750 ms.

ARGH!
