Default Re: More Bell Tinkle

The ringing wire (pin 3) needs to be shorted to pin 5 whenever the phone is off the hook, to suppress tinkling caused by LD dialling pulses. However, ADSL filters regenerate the pin 3 signal locally (and with only enough oomph to ring one phone). So I'm afraid the only way to suppress tinkling when ADSL filters are in use, is to use DTMF
