I did that once on a cheap linejack card.  Took a week to get the smell
out of the office, and the bright orange from inside the server was
quite interesting :)  Only took 1 second to start a small flame going,
but fortunately I cought it quick. 

I wonder if the zaptel cards have any kind of protection from this sort
of thing...

A butt set will not give you dialtone either.  And plugging telephones
into FXO ports will *not* damage anything, since both the phone and the
card are expecting the other side to source battery and ring.  It's
plugging POTS lines into FXS ports that causes nastiness.
