Default Re: old telephones

Old GPO phones use a separate wire for ringing, so won't ring on a 2 wire circuit. You may be able to generate the ring signal by using the phone through an ADSL microfilter, as these have their own ring capacitor.

A lot of modern hardware doesn't support pulse dialling.
