I'm pretty sure some systems allowed remembering the DTMF menu and press it while the voice recording played. But the recent systems I called did not allow this. It was like they intentionally made people wait to suffer the torture.

Also, I used to work with Telco side guys of these systems and they were very proud of these "capabilities".
