Active Line Detector Analysis

An active line dectector should not be to hard for someone to design.
The phone line has a potential of about 5 volts when off the hook. Its
on hook voltage is considerably higher.  All that need be designed is
a simple circut that detects the low voltage.  When the device sees
this lower voltage is draws a very small amount of current for the LED.
I am unfortunatly unable to take it beyond this stage.  I would
however be interested in the plans if someone can handle the next step.
