Does anyone know of the specifications for the ring signals which I could use to automatically detect which type of ring signal is present and switch it to the appropriate place? [yes, I am looking for a way to avoid installing and paying for a second phone line]. E-mail responses please, and I will post a summary if response merits. -- Orville R.
