HC sends DTMF tones with the "dial" command through the speaker jack.
These can connect to a dialer gadget called a "TurboDialer", which

Nothing like that in LC at all? Never mind the hardware.
It is actually possible to make calls that way by holding the
receiver up
to the computer speaker.
Shades of Captain Crunch.
I used this in an old HC stack. When I joined my current group
practice I discovered that the modern phone system here (apparently a
LAN with its own server, all self-contained) wouldn't recognize the
tones played through the receiver. So I retired that feature. The loss
is now somewhat mitigated by my being able to use voice-activated
dialing on my iPhone....
