I'm on cable, mind you, so I was really (pleasantly) surprised about that. Christoph Franck said:
It's not really all that surprising. Your phone is talking to a computer on the other end, . That's not quite true. On cable, your phone is almost certainly talking to something that's simulating a POTS[1] exchange - it is quite possible that it would not detect Loop-Disconnect ("pulse") dialling - so the remote computer would never know!
