No. This was a place I worked at about 7 or 8 years ago. The monitors
were green-screen mono things (horrible) hooked up to 286's and basically
functioning as (almost) intelligent mainframe terminals. Several of the
monitors showed this problem when the people using them put phones on top of
them.

They were pretty ancient telephones as well...
