DTMF dialer I wrote in basic and compiled into an exe file, and it
runs better on the older 28.8 modems.

do NOT hold down the shift key when entering the decimal point. For
example, a frequency of 433.1750 would appear as follows: $##.!&%)
(notice the decimal). Should work OK for your application. But
Kevin is correct - check the BatLabs pages first to be absolutely
certain.

433Mhz, you have to hold the shift key down for the whole frequency,
so it would be $##))). It's been awhile since I have done one, so I
am only going off memory, thats why I suggest looking at Batlabs.
