My Dad explained this to me...the first adding machines had the layout we now have on our keyboards. When the dial-pad was introduced on phones, key-punch operators(and accountants) were able to dial phone numbers too fast for the equipment to process it.

So the phone company(Ma' Bell to all us old farts) changed all phones to be what we have today, the flip-side of the adding machine.

This could all just be a ripe pile of crap my dad made up to get my 7-year old ass to shut up(when I asked him)....but hey, it sounds really good!
