subject: Antique Telephones

I don't know if this will be seen by anyone who can help, but I love my
antique telephones... I love the sound of the mechanical bell... and the
heaviness of the handsets.

I have a box that lets my cell phone act as an inbound line on my POTS
channels and it also gates my ip phone in as the landline... however there's
not enough voltage to make my phones ring... and there's a box from australia
that will take the rotary phones and read the pulses then dial out.

I love the sound of mechanical ringers though.
