[sci.electronics] RS232 to DTMF device???

Hello. I am looking for a device that will accept an RS232 input signal,
and will decode this is a DTMF (phone - tone) signal. This would allow us
to use a terminal to dial out on our phones (we have a tremendous phone
list assembled on our UNIX system). We just need a device (if one exists)
to do this transference. Does anyone know of such a device?????

Please reply to my email address if at all possible
as I do not usually read this newsgroup (I've got too many to keep up on
already!).

Thank you very much....

Sure, it is called a "modem".  Just get an autodial modem
and pick up the phone after it is done dialing.
