While this may be helpful to Canadians (where touch tone is almost as popular as it is in the USA) I'm not sure how much use this is to callers from the U.K. or from Europe. As I recall, tone-dialing is not widely available there. Also, does anybody know if the tone-dial equipment there uses the same tone-pairs as we do here? Dave Levenson westmark!dave
