Message-ID: <1702@dasys1.UUCP> Date: Sun, 18-Oct-87 20:17:40 EDT Article-I.D.: dasys1.1702 Posted: Sun Oct 18 20:17:40 1987 Date-Received: Tue, 20-Oct-87 00:46:19 EDT Organization: The Big Electric Cat, NYC, NY Lines: 14 Keywords: modem, answering-machine, touch-tone Does anyone know of a touch tone-controled modem and/or answering machine that can be used with a PC? What I have in mind is an answering machine that answers the phone and waits for a touch tone; if no tone is detected in xx seconds, the machine operates like an ordinary answering machine, inviting the caller to leave a voice message on tape. On the other hand, if a tone is detected within xx seconds, the machine operates like a modem, issuing a carrier signal, and going into data mode. -- Dominick Samperi, Manhattan College, New York, NY ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!phri!dasys1!samperi ...!ihnp4!cmcl2!manhat!samperi ...!ihnp4!{pur-ee|iuvax}!bsu-cs!zoo-hq!magpie!samperi
