Correct, and don't forget about A, B, C, D (flash override, flash, priority
and <I forget>) -- four more valid DTMF sequences... The "complete" DTMF
keypad looks like this; the ABCD keys are usually left off because there
are not very many pieces of equipment that can utilise them (unless you are
in the US goverment or military).



   1  2  3  A

	  4  5  6  B

	  7  8  9  C

	  *  0  #  D
