[sci.electronics] Phone in-use light?

WDBURNS%MTUS5.BITNET (William D. Burns) (02/13/91)

Greetings All,
  I have a real simple (I hope) question/project:
I need to build some sort of indicator so that my roommates don't pick-up
the other phone when I'm on the modem.  I think I saw something like it in
a R-E magazine a few months ago but can't find it to save Sadam's soul.
Can anyone out there give me the low-down on either the issue/magazine to
look for OR a simple circuit diagram???

I'm guessing a 2222, diode and a few resistors would do it but not sure...

Thanks
