Does it not work at all, or are you looking for a timed script -- because
DTMF has been enabled in Skype for a long time.

I'm looking to script it. Right now I can only enter tones in
manually.

While technically true, it's still a good indication in most cases. And
if an application developer goes through the trouble of adding a
dictionary to his application but then fails to actually implement
scriptability, then IMO, that application isn't worth running on my
computer.

Thing about Skype is that it's not scriptable in the first place. Have you
tried the good old letter p for pause? About all I can think of is you use
Audacity to make an MP3 and play it ... but what will Skype do to DTMF over
audio ...

If you just want to listen or talk over the computer's speaker and a mic,
there is BluePhone Elite, which will tether to a phone via Bluetooth. It
hooks in to your address book, which will store numbers with pauses.

Ah. I've only used AppleScript a little. How do I know if an app is
scriptable or not?
