During the past week, I've used Yahoo! Messenger's PC-to-PHONE service a few times to call a regular phone from my PC.  Today, I made a call which was answered by an automated system and I was prompted to respond to questions by hitting a number.  You know the routine, right?  

Of course, I had to hang up and use a regular phone, since there's no way to provide such responses.  The keypad on the computer keyboard had no interaction with the PC-to-phone software once a connection is made with a phone.  

I'm sure there's no way AROUND this.  Just thought I mention it in case anyone has used another PC-to-phone service, such as Skype, and can actually do this.Search for "tone dialling" in the HELP files...?I couldn't find anything in the help files but I finally discovered that a keypad can be displayed on screen by clicking on a small icon in the dial-up panel.  It looks like this:



Numbers can be sent either by clicking on them with the mouse or hitting the number keys on the keyboard.   Skype can dial such numbers, you can either press the keypad number (though, there is a delay) or use the keyboard (but UPPER number charecters, [email protected]#$%^&*() have difficulties)Quit swearing...LOL, Patio

Almost seems like it
