We have a bunch of WYSE-50 and 60 terminals running a database
application. We would like to call up a customer file on the screen, and in
response to a function key, dial the customer's phone number.

To achieve this, I think we would need a device which would hook up between
the serial printer port on the terminal and the phone handset. It would
have to accept a phone number from the serial port, and then dial the number.
Have a USR HST modem that works, but has short comings and is also a bit
pricey for this application.	

I assume this type of device is readily available, and would appreciate
pointers to vendors.

Thanks,
Karl
