Can someone tell me the signal transition to make from a computer to make a
Bell 212AR go back on-hook (ps, what does the AR respresent?). I have been
asked to do this, but as usual, no documentation has been made available. The
application is to make a bulletin board hang up if no activity is noticed
within some set time.
