I remember reading about some of the Demon Dialers of yesteryear and I
was wondering what is still available today.  Specifically, I'd like:

1.  Something that can take relatively long speed dial codes from any
phone on the line (e.g., *MOM, *BOB, ...) and dial out the appropriate
number.

2.  Redial until not busy and then ring me back would be nice, but not
essential.

3.  I can live with hard-to-reprogram systems and systems that only
handle tones but I need to be able to install this in an apartment
(can't attack the wiring in the walls).

4.  It would be nice to have features to automatically handle prefixes
and calling card numbers, but having each speed dial number handle up
to 32 digits (with pauses) would be fine too.

I've checked local places with no luck.  Any ideas?
