Anyone recall the old phone locks?  It mechanically locked the
dial from turning -- you put it in the 1 finger hole in the dial.

That didn't bother a friend of mine.  She could actuate the switch
hook (where handset lives to hang up phone) fast enough to dial a
number.  Phone company can't tell if the rotary dial is doing the
make/break or if the switch hook is doing it.  She had about 90%
accuracy (dialed number she wanted about 9 times out of 10).  She
is a programmer and still an incredibly fast typist.
