    +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

    ToneDial  is  a  utility  to produce the dual tone frequencies that a
    DTMF  phone  would.  This means your computer can dial your phone for
    you  automatically (even if you don't have a modem).  You simply need
    to  take  your  phone  of  the hook and as long as your phone is near
    enough to hear the beeps produced by this program, the number will be
    dialed for you.

    +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

    TONEDIAL number

    Only  one  parameter may be given (and must always be given), this is
    the number to dial.  This number can also contain the '#','*' and the
    letters  'a'  to 'd'.  The whole of the command-line will be taken as
    the  number,  so  you  can  include  spaces.   Also  any unrecognised
    characters will be ignored, so you don't need to worry about removing
    them if calling this from a database program or similar.  For example
    all the following will produce the same results...


                         TONEDIAL 0123 456789

                         TONEDIAL (0123) 456789

                         TONEDIAL 0123-456789

                         TONEDIAL 0123456789

    +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

    The timing loop used for getting the tone and gap lengths isn't 100%
    accurate,  and  if  you  have  alot of tasks running some tones might
    appear  longer  than others.  This doesn't really matter as the phone
    systems  allow alot of flexibility on this.  If you find this program
    doesn't work properly then there are a number of causes that it could
    be that aren't related to this actual program....

    (1) You're phone might not be hearing the tones properly, try holding
        the reciever nearer to your monitor speakers or turning them up.

    (2) The  other  option  is  that  the  sound  may be too loud causing
        distortion,  try  holding  the  phone  reciever near your monitor
        speaker but pointing away from the monitor.

    (3) Other sounds might be picked up along with the tones.  Don't talk
        while dialing (and turn off loud music!)


    (4)  You  may  have a poor line, in which case your only option is to
         try   increasing  the  time  each  tone  plays  for,  try  using
         ToneDial_Slow  or  ToneDial_VerySlow  and see if the results are
         any better.
