My CO, a 5ESS, occasionally seems to do that.  Sometimes when I
pulse-dial after a call has been connected, the audio is cut off for a
moment.  When it comes back, I can hear a click, probably from the
far-end echo.

I tried it against a foreign office's milliwatt and silent
termination, but I couldn't hear it; thus it's most likely far-end
echo.

I then dialled my voicemail and said "four", dialed four, and
continued to say four at the same volume, stopping three times after I
heard the click.  You can hear it for yourself at
<http://students.washington.edu/f/host/four-pulses.wav>.  Apparently
the CO is interpreting the pulses as audio, adjusting my transmitted
volume to be reasonable.

I probably shouldn't have heard the click on my voicemail, though,
because there ought to be no echo as it is (presumably) fully digital.
