Hiya,
Thanks for that.. yah I'm afraid I had limited time and just ploughed ahead and disconnected all the wires inside the phone from their respective connectors.. and just used a meter to ring out the wires and figured out which ones were for the dialling pulse and which was the 'dial-stopped' and 'on-hook'..
I should probably be classed as a vandal.. sigh... but at the time I could find no useful info about how to connect the phone to a RPi any other way...
Oh well.. you live , you learn...
