I used this in an old HC stack. When I joined my current group
practice I discovered that the modern phone system here (apparently a
LAN with its own server, all self-contained) wouldn't recognize the
tones played through the receiver. So I retired that feature. The loss
is now somewhat mitigated by my being able to use voice-activated
dialing on my iPhone....
