This could actually work But it would require that both ends have a specialised phonestack (openmoko fx) where some kind of protocol was inplemented for listening for DTMF with a start and stop signal, where the phone would know not to send the tones into the ear piece, so that it would not scream into the other user's ears. -- Mvh Fabian Olesen ---- If it moves, compile it.
