As far as DTMF decoders go, there are a variety of things to be interested in when searching for one. If you are going to supply local dial tone then you need one with a good dial tone reject feature (like the Teltone M957). If you just want one that is cheap, then the SSI 202P is not a bad choice. Hope this helps. -brian -- Brian D. Cuthie uunet!umbc3!cbw1!brian Columbia, MD brian@umbc3.umd.edu "Captain, Captain! All the stars have gone out!" "No, you fool, you've leaned on the button.
