So I have a little problem : in different rooms of my house I have some telephones parallel connected; pulse dialing causes all the telephones but the one being used to ring in a practically undistinguishable way from incoming-call ringing. The problem is a matter of late days, when the phone company changed the heavy mechanical phones with electronic ones. The old ringers were actually too heavy to be moved by the low voltage pulses that occour in dialing. Can anybody give me some advice to avoid this nuisance ? Thanks in advance, Paolo Prandoni. pran@deipd1.unipd.it
