   Does anyone know where I could buy a cheap DTMF tone generator?   
   I think that's what they are called. They used to be used to enter touch   
   tone phone sounds into the receivers of dial pay phones so you could   
   access your answering machine.   
      
   I know someone who only has rotary phones (she claims they are the only   
   ones that work with her hearing aids) and is moving to a place where the   
   main door can be remotely opened by pressing a key on her phone. Since she   
   doesn't have a touch tone phone, I thought a portable tone generator might   
   work.  Radio Shack doesn't carry them and I don't know where else to look.   
      
   Yes, I could always hook up a small, touch tone phone next to her dial   
   phone but then she couldn't easily move it between phones. Maybe a cheap   
   cordless phone would work. Those I have.   
      
   Does anyone know where I could get a tiny wired phone? I had once once   
   (Radio Shack) and it was 2 x 1.5 x .75 inches with a 2.5 mm plug for a   
   mic/headset just like those used on cordless and wireless phones. It even   
   had "to line" and "to telephone" jacks.   
      
   Thanks for any leads or even the right search keywords on ebay. I didn't   
   find any with my searches.   
      
   And sorry if these aren't appropriate newsgroups. I thought people here   
   would know about this stuff!   
      
   Thanks!  Joy
