Hmm. Good question. With those options in chat, it ought to pick up the
phone line, see no dialtone and hear voice (really audio that is not modem
carrier tones), and hang up. The most your father should hear is maybe a
click when it picks up and another when it hangs up. Curious. Does it
actually try to dial out while he's on the phone?
