Meanwhile, at the uk.telecom.mobile Job Justification Hearings, Peter

It's the callee that presses whatever to accept the call, not the caller.
With any luck, none of the mobile networks will press 1 when the number
you're calling isn't available ;-)

Nope.

You misunderstood what was being suggested:

1) Caller calls your call handling system (CHS)
2) CHS places caller on hold with message "trying to connect you"
3) CHS cycles through respondent numbers with a timeout
4) When a respondent answers they get a message from CHS "press 1 to
accept call"
5) If a respondent presses 1, caller is connected to respondent by CHS
6) If the CHS hits its timeout, it tries the next respondent number at
step 3

It's the respondent pressing 1 on their keypad that triggers acceptance
of the call from the CHS, causing the CHS to link the caller to them.
The caller can't trigger this connection from their side, they wait on
hold until the CHS gets an interaction from a recipient.

The only issue with this would be if an answering device responded with
tones that could be misinterpreted by the CHS as a DTMF 1.
