Seems like they'd do DTMF generation at the point where it enters the
POTS, not inside your computer. Sure would save on the data stream
bandwidth going out just sending numbers instead of voice data converted
tones.

I've checked Skype voicemail hundreds of times from my cellphone through
Vox on my computer, a double set of conversions across the POTS. It
seemed to work fine.

Well, we have to find some nit to pick to trash it, eh?
