My bank offers bank-by-phone, where a synthesizer and a DTMF detector make up a terminal. I have been unable to track down (neither from the bank nor from DataPro Reports (are they any good?) any info on such devices. Does anyone know what they are and the names of some manufacturers? I would really be interested in multiport devices, though single-port (as would be used with a PC) would be helpful. Thanks Seth Rothenberg sr16@andrew.cmu.edu

Dialogic Corporation makes some dandy little boards which hook up to PC or compatible devices. They have several different kinds of boards, with different numbers of lines available (we used the 4 line D40 boards and liked them a lot). If you really wanted to get fancy, you could plug a whole slew of them into a single PC - up to six boards if I remember right. They also had a little cross-connect switch board which you could hook up in front of the telephone boards which would give you the capability of building a little baby PBX if you really wanted to. I don't have their number and address handy, but can dig it up if you need it. Tom Wiencko (w) (404) 977-4515 gatech!stiatl!tom Wiencko & Associates, Inc.

There is a hybrid modem device that contains a sysnthesizer with female voice, a Bell 103/212A modem and can detect DTMF and single tones that is made by XeCom in Milpitas, CA. It's a very small device - about the length of a 40-pin DIP and 3/4 inch high by 1 inch wide. It was featured in Steve Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar column in BYTE a few years back. I don't have the address on hand but I will dig around for it. JJD onymouse@netcom.UUCP
