Zap channels don't though, and DISA also generates an "internal" dialtone, 
so if you arranged things such that lifting the handset auto-dialled a 
number on a SIP phone which connected you to DISA, then you could fiddle 
with the runes in indications.conf ...

However producing the olde "purrrrrr" might be challenging and you'll be 
after a phone with buttons A and B next ;-)
