[VoIP] Seattle Museum?

Thu May 29 14:37:20 CDT 2008

I've generally found that John Covert's portal works well, well enough 
that I can even store the CNET number on a speed dial key and dial it 
into CNET over his voice prompt or over the modulated dial tone.  I do 
this after first dialing the PSTN access number for the portal itself 
from another speed dial key. 

I am also able to do this from my cellphone.  In the case of the 
cellphone, the DTMF is passing over the cellular network first.  
Amazingly, it works.
