For my new line, I deliberately didn't order touch-tone service even
though I have touch-tone phones. It's ridiculous to get charged $2.20
(NYNEX) a month for something that saves NYNEX money by cutting down
on computation time. Once I get my line, I'm going to see if it
supports touch-tone anyway. If not, it's my modem/fax line anyway, so
it doesn't seriously bother me.

I think almost all new phones sold in the U.S. have touch-tone and
pulse.  Some have touch-tone only (el-cheapo (tm) brand). In Japan,
I've seen pulse only phones, but haven't seen a single one in America.
