Developer’s Description

By The Reverend JW
Get a simulation of DTMF tones used to dial a touch tone telephone.

Vista Gadget that will give access from your desktop or sidebar a bluebox. BlueBox is a gadget that will add to your Vista Sidebar or desktop an audio BlueBox. For those of you that don't know, a blue box was a phreakers [telephone....um....enthusiast] toy that simulated the DTMF [Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency] tones used to dial a touch tone telephone.

As you'd expect, they can mimic the usual keys (1-9,0,# and *). In addition, there are 4 more tones (keys A,B,C and D) that were generally reserved for special functions. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
