[comp.dcom.telecom] Information Needed on Connecting Speakerphone

Miguel_Cruz@ub.cc.umich.edu (04/17/89)

I have an old Western Electric/AT&T 2-piece speakerphone that I would
like to be able to use.  The larger part has a speaker and most of the
circuitry, and has a 20-pin plug that looks like it would fit into a
50-pin cable from an old 5-line key system.  The other part has a
microphone, on-off switch, indicator lamp, and volume control, and an
8-pin connector.

Is it possible to connect this to an ordinary phone line?  What additional
circuitry is needed (I assume at least some kind of power supply).  Does
anyone know the connections for this?

Thanks,
