I wanted to give you a useful reply to your request for information on a chip you were looking for. The company which produces the devices is Teltone. Their representatives in California are: GNH, Inc. Moun- tain View, CA (415) 961-6740 (for Zip Codes 94000 and up); and Vale Elec. Association Irvine, CA (714) 551-4004 (for Zips of 93999 and lower). Depending on your needs, etc., the reps may give samples. They can supply data. To also get data and actually buy chips, their distributors in California are: Pacesetter Electronics Anaheim (714) 779-5855 and Sunnyvale (408) 734-5470. They make several good products. The one which looks like the one you're interested in is the DTMF Receiver IC. It translates Touch Tones to a 4-bit code you can use in a digital system. Contact their rep or sales outlet and thewy can send you a full brochure on their products. The data sheets they send on their chips will show you the basic inter- face circuits you need - very sinple, with common parts. You shouldn't need anything else. These should suit FCC Part 68 just fine, although I'm not a lawyer... As far as speech synth goes, the Shack IC would work. Also, they sell a book called "Understanding Telephone Electronics" for $3.40 (mine was in '84). Look it over, it may help. Goodest of lucketh. -- _ /| William E.

Yeah... the Radio Shack chip will work, too.

Features include: auto answer/originate, audio input to phone network, DTMF or pulse dialing, dial tone and call progress tone detection, password/dialback security, etc, etc. Unfortunately, there's no speech synthesizer, but you can connect one to the audio input port. You should be able to get info from the sales reps mentioned, or you can call us directly. --- Kirk Bellar KE7TN Teltone Corp. (Tones `R' Us) uw-beaver!tikal!kirk Kirkland, Wa.
