I wonder if they detect that and solve whatever task it is directly then.


It'd be trivial to detect if they transmit high-frequency noise over the line, and then fallback to DTMF tones.


That'd be a creepy conversation to listen in on. "Ah yes, I see you are a robot too." Proceeds to transmit data through dial-up-esque noise
