Back in the early 60's, touch tone phones only had 10 buttons. Some military
versions had 16, while the 12 button jobs were used only by people who had
"diva" (digital inquiry, voice answerback) systems -- mainly banks. Since in
those days, only Western Electric made "data sets" (modems) the problems
of terminology were all Bell System. We used to struggle with written
descriptions of dial pads that were unfamiliar to most people (most phones
were rotary then.) Partly in jest, some AT&T engineering types (there was
no marketing in the good old days, which is why they were the good old days)
made up the term "octalthorpe" (note spelling) to denote the "pound sign."
Presumably because it has 8 points sticking out. It never really caught on.
