Hi!
TRS-80 is the one of the early computers that could generate two
frequencies at once. You will have to write a small basic program and
need a amplifier to connect the tones to the line. It is not complicate
thing to do. All you need is get a Basic programming manual for TRS-80
and look for tone generating section. If I recall correct these tones
have different timings. 2600HZ for CCITT-5 is about 300ms and others
~200ms.

Hope this helps
