Touchtone service was not available from our CO when we put up our first box. We use to dial the phone by pounding on the "*" key. It was amazing how often we'd actually get the number we were "dialing". Luckily the CO got touchtone a couple of months later and didn't start *charging* for the privilege of having it for another 20 years.
