- Alas, many of the newer ones are capable of translating those "cute"
- numbers like 1-800-ABCDEFG. Which means that when you dial A, B or C
- you get 2. And you get 3 for D. *Older* Hayes and USR modems could
- dial the ABCD tones. <sigh>

- [Moderator's Note: When dialing letters on the modem aren't they
- required to be put in quotes, i.e. 'DIAL THIS'. I'd think the modem
- could see that 123-'ABCD' was different than 123-ABCD (no quotes). PAT]
