The decoding of DTMF (Touch Tone) signals is in the modem.  Why 
would you think that any other part of the computer is involved?

You don't say what type of exchange/switch "most phones" are connected to.
That probably is the most important factor.  Line quality could also make
a difference.  Or the type of modem you have could respond differently
according to certain setup parameters.

Microsoft's "terminal" programs are typically only minimally useful.
There are many alternatives.
