Becuase something else is not what I want.  The ability to read dtmf and
play some response via a TTS engine isnt that hard, just wanted to talk
to someone who has done it, specifically to get the scope they did and
some other info.

And you dont have to keep a lot in your head, there isnt a lot you can
do with a keyboard and monitor, so why do you think you have to keep a
lot of information in your head?

I dont quite think you understand what I wanted.  Monopoly was not a
text based adventure game like zork or adventure was way back when).  I
am not looking for any game that can use text as its output, I am
looking for text based adventure, possibly MUD to allow for interaction
with others (although that can be slightly more tricky).

what?  All it needs is a quality TTS engine and the ability to read
dtmf.  There are alternatives to festival so the TTS end is covered, and
unless something fundamentally changed it can read dtmf with the
greatest of ease.  So I dont know what you are talking about with
relation to singing.
