I remember back in the rotary days, we could fool a
phone to dial by clicking the hook off and on quickly!
I found that certain staccatto patterns would allow
phone calls from pay phones as well (like early to mid
'70s)
I've got a little application on my Newt 2k called
"Phoney" by the "armchair hacker" (no further credits
given) that seems to do what you are talking about.
But this one goes one step further. You have a screen
with currency on it and when you hit a say...quarter,
it would make the tones necessary to refund a
quarter...there's nickel, dime and dollar as well!
Plus there is straight DTMF, and BLUE box tones.
It's a lot of fun to play with...just wish it still
worked on today's phone systems!
I don't remember where I got it, but like everything
else, it's probably on UNNA.
