DT-232
Touch-tones in, ASCII out. And back again.
A dial-up remote control and a universal touch-tone to serial converter. It turns touch-tones into the ASCII strings your equipment expects, runs four relays, and sends touch-tones down a phone line when your PC tells it to.

More about the DT-232
The DT-232 started as a custom project for a TV network.
Basic functions work from any terminal program on almost any computer; the advanced programming uses the free Windows software.
The Windows software needs DT-232 firmware 7.00 or later, released May 2008. If you have version 5 or 6 firmware, call us; units older than version 5 can get an inexpensive upgrade.
