I did't see the beginning of this thread, so this might have been mentioned, but
most phone lines can be "dialed" using the the hook switch (the buttons the 
handset sits on).

Back when we were in high school, the math lab had dial locks on the phones in
an attempt to stop unauthorized use of the computer (dial-up acoustic coulped
modems hooked to ASR-33's, it was a while ago :-).  We got very good at calling
out on these phones without dialing!
