Hello,

One of our clients uses "A" quite a bit internally, the Zoiper
softphone has it right in the key-pad, and they use it for internal
extensions like voicemail and timeclock applications through Asterisk.
As for the others, I have heard of success with B and C, but some
issues with the D key in Asterisk.

As a side note, these DTMF signals have been around for decades, most
telco infrastructure equipment supports these signals, and you can
find very old linesman's handsets that have the A-D row of buttons on
them.
