In the Netherlands there are about 40% DTMF phones. About 60% of the lines are "dual mode" and there is no free for DTMF. Only DTMF will be enabled when you buy a DTMF phone of the PTT. May be this will change when on 1 Jan 1989 monopoly of the Dutch PTT ends. After this date they hold only the monopoly of the cables and the public switches. Today there are also many DTMF payphones on the street. ># Henry Mensch / / E40-379 MIT, Cambridge, MA ># {decvax,harvard,mit-eddie}!garp!henry / Henk Peek ..!uunet!mcvax!nikhefk.UUCP Amsterdam, The Netherlands
