[comp.dcom.telecom] Circuit for ringing/inuse light.

jailbait@dasys1.UUCP (Richard Segal) (10/19/88)

I'm looking to build a box (2 actually - In use by one phone, ringing far from
both phones) to tell me (okay, so I'm getting repetative) 1) when the line is
in use (so no one picks up on the modem) and 2) when the phone is ringing
quite a distance and alot of noise from where I'm sitting.
What  do I need for these? Do either (both) exist commercially? Etc.

Also, I want to hook up a tone dialer to a rotary dial phone.  Where can I
get a steady voltage to power the dialer?
  MAny thanks for all answers.
Rich.
