[comp.dcom.telecom] Telco Interface Guidelines Sought

ray@ole.uucp (Ray Berry) (03/21/90)

	I've accepted a short job (re)designing a consumer oriented
appli- ance that connects directly to the PSTN.  (== 'public switched
telephone network' ??).  Although I'm comfortable with general
engineering topics, I do not have previous experience interfacing to
the telco lines.  Can anyone recommend a succinct and practical
introduction outlining the 'rules' which must be followed?  I have
acquired a copy of RS-496 and done a first pass through it.  Great
reading, but I suspect it's a bit of overkill for what I'm doing.  Any
pointers/references etc will be appreciated.
