The pulse-emulation method of dialing a telephone is often a useful thing
to know.  At my father's workplace, the company put a telephone lock on the
office phone.  The lock was basically a cover over the touch-tone keys
and didn't allow dial access.  They had put the lock on due to company
abuses in long distance calls.  My dad always used to the phone to call
home to let my mom know when he would be in (a local charge).  I taught
him the pulse dialing method.  No real fraud, no one is wiser, and
that's all...
