- I tried this on our ROLM CBX. DTMF "A" breaks dial tone, but
- otherwise appears to be completely ignored no matter where it is used.
- DTMF "B", "C", and "D" all cause an immediate error if you dial them
- as the first digit; if you dial them after a "9", they cause an error
- (alternating high/low pitch tones) when you finish with all the
- digits.
-
- I don't even have an outside line here to try it direct to the CO.
