I'm working on a project in which touch-tone users will have to enter names, addresses and so on. Is there a standard way of encoding these? (One scheme that pops to mind would be "key,position" (for L you would type 53 since 'L' is on the 5 key in the third position). Please respond by email as I'm not a regular reader of comp.dcom.telecom; I'll post a summary to the net of whatever I receive. Thanks in advance...

A standard code (cipher?) is for a 0 to represent the first letter on the key and a 1 to represent the last letter on the key. The absence of a 0 or 1 represents the middle letter on the key. The next number is the number of the key. This works for all letter except Q and Z. Prehaps thay can be represented by 00 and 11. Patton Turner KB4GRZ pturner@eng.auburn.edu
