Rotary dial sets are a bit of a nuisance to use today since so many
businesses require Touch Tone signals to get through a front-end
menu. Also, many US places now have 10 digit diailing. But there are
plenty of Western Electric Touch Tone units out there.

You used to be able to get a tone dialer that you put over the mouthpiece
of an old phone that would do the job. I got one from Tandy (Radioshack
in the US) and used back in the late 80s.


They also used to be provided free with answer machines to allow remote
login and control (or at least 2 of mine had them included)
