- The others are A,B,C,D the are on the right of the keypad,
- A is at the top, making it a 4x4 grid.
- Why does it matter where they are? Because DTMF stands
- for *Dual* tone multi frequency encoding. Each column on the keypad
- is assigned a frequency, and so is each row. When a button is pressed,
- the frequencies for that row and column are mixed and output.
- Thus, "Dual" Tone. The A-B-C-D column adds only one new frequency to
- the keypad, using the four previously available row freqs to mix
- with the new column freq.
- Therefore, you should be able to figure out * and # based
- on the info you already have. Also, most modems support the A-D dial
- characters, so you could "ear sample" them that way.

- Try anon ftp to tybalt.cco.caltech.edu. Look at
- /pub/heathh/sb/INDEX, and the rest should be straightforward.

- See ya, Heath
