One thing you forgot to mention is that you get a lot more power out
of the line when it is ringing. I got the worst shock of my life when
I held the red and green wires(one in each hand) while the line sent
a ring signal. It almost knocked me out. It mush have been high voltage
and low amps because it went through me real easy.
