ABSTRACT:
In a method for delivering signaling tones to signaling devices or signaling systems, a signaling tone sequence is selected from a set of undelivered signaling tone sequences. The selected signaling tone sequence is removed from the set of undelivered signaling tone sequences, and the selected signaling tone sequence is delivered.
