  However, there are some references which give quite a lot of info
and which are a good place to start.  One book which I have given to
many people as a way to get started is:

Understanding Telephone Electronics
Developed and Published by Texas Instruments Learning Center
J. L. Fike, et al  1983
Radio Shack catalog number 62-1388

  I haven't checked lately to see if there is a new edition or even if
it is still available.  This is a self-teaching type of text with
quizzes and answers for each chapter.
