Ah yes, nothing like coming home to a tape full of automated phone lady 
lecturing you to hang up.

Actually I have one site that still has that problem. It’s a tiny rural hamlet 
where their phone lines come in from the CO in another tiny rural hamlet via an 
ancient analog multiplexer. The linecards in the multiplexer don’t support 
passing the voltage-reversal signal. Telco people asked around within their 
company trying scrounge up some cards that do, but it’s just too ancient. 
“Supervisory disconnect dualtone mid-call” helps a little bit, but not until 
after the phone lady has already given her lecture.
