Looks like D.I.D. lines cause other problems as well - our ROLM system is
set up like that (last 3 digits passed to the PBX, PBX handles ringing and
busy tones) and several times, when calling in from a pay phone, I was
charged even for a busy line or a no-answer.  Looks like after around 20
seconds the CO equipment says you're paying since apparently our system at
least has no way of supervising.
