It could do MF, tone-detection (with an add-on chip) and could also play 3-voice music through the phone (or was it 2-voice)? I have a Novation modem called the AutoCat 212 which is a piece of dung. I swear to almighty god that this thing produced line noise based on my brain wave activity. Now check this out, if I was looking at the modem, it would start spewing line noise. If I would look away when it was transferring data, it would work fine. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. Very weird. And frustrating. I had to put up with dirty file transfers and modem sessions for about 3 years until I finally got another modem (couldn't afford a nice 2400 baud). Anyway, it was a 1200 baud, no DTMF dialing (only pulse but not hayes compatible, you had to write a special driver for it since no terminal software on the apple seemed to support it) or you had to manually dial.
