Hey folks.

I got Tasker with the objective of setting up this task:

When my apartment complex gate calls my cell phone, I want it to
automatically answer the call, and dial "9" on the dial pad to open
the gate and let the person through.

The only issue I'm coming across is getting Tasker to dial 9 on the
dial pad. Suggestions/help, please?

You may want to research on sending DTMF tones instead of dialing a
number. I don't know if tasker can do this. There is an API in SL4A
called generateDtmfTones, but it doesn't seem to work even if the
script generates the tone.

I hate to push the thread/question, but without a solution, I have no
reason to keep Tasker, so if I'm going to refund the app I need to do
it soon.
