The PAX was saved from a container, and yes it works.
Much about this in another thread:http://www.classicrotaryphones.com/forum/index.php?topic=4185.45

Just a little more.
Diagram, and how I made one line to be an outbound trunk line.

Not easy to keep it running as I want, the trunk has had trouble with releasing the line. I replaced the zener and diode in series with the dial repeat (and release) relay with a resistor.

Now I have to try it out.

Does this PAX require ground start trunks or loop start trunks?
"C'est pas une restauration, c'est une rénovation."--François Martin.

It is loop start.
Ground start has not been used here as far as I know.
This PAX does not have a trunk line at all.
I figured out:  due to the simple common bridge for powering both ends, dialing in on telephone caused a voltage rise for each break, and on hang up, and the connection stay until both ends hangs up.
This was used to sense the voltage rise, and give pulses on the POTS side of the trunk. (Relay D, and contact set d1)
When hanging up, the voltage rises, and D opens the POTS circuit....

Another problem are to connect a dtmf to pulse converter, the original dial tone (buzz) disturbs any receiving of dtmf. I will have to put in a SMART1 adapter who makes its own dial tone, and then you will loose the original tone
The dial tone is a constant tone of this busy tone. soundcloud.com/d_s_k-2/busy (horrible)  It sounds some different in the phone.

Sounds like a very rough version of the UK dial tone, as if it's just a bit too loud, you could probably attenuate it a bit just to calm it down a tad... :)

Not easy, but possible. Dial tone: "summe-tone" are made as in diagram:

You could probably get a Logarithmic Potentiometer (such as the 10kOhm one I use as a line attenuator for my turntable to calm down my preamp's output) and find an optimal resistance at which the tone doesn't sound distorted and rough and seal the deal with an equivalent resistor fitted in place... :)

That used to happen with standard UK 'purr' dialling tone too; hence the new whistling dial tone on MF-capable exchanges.

Maybe you could lower the Dialtone volume  a little and then the TT conv would work.

This are not easy, but you may test by ringing SIP Broker number *011-478
When you get the purring dial tone 3 long dtmf tones: 333 will give a ringing.  911 or 912 will give a busy signal.

I have to ask someone to provide me with a C*NET number for this. (Don't know who)
Or via one of this gateways from a regular phone:  http://www.sipbroker.com/sipbroker/action/pstnNumbers

I have registered at least one has tested, and I forgot to mention: I would like feedback, and hints here or as a PM.
Thank you!

 :) I hope I have reached the goal, Its working!

When you dial in from internet or regular phone, you get the real purring dial tone.
If you send the push button tones (DTMF) 2-9 or 12-19 you still hear the dial tone a few seconds, then you hear the pulses, the switch are working, and you get the extremely low ringing signal. Its 25HZ and should be out of the band transmitted, but you hear it. The volume depends of the REN load in the other end.  9=busy 6 are my phone on my desk, (AE40).

Please do not ring after 10PM CET

My SIP Broker number are  *011-478

Yes it is working, and it is a loong timeout after dialing C*NET 1-857-1116 then you get a ring, and the SXS answers with purring dial tone. Dial the extension you want and again wait for about 7 sec. You will hear the pulses, and then it connects you.

ext 9: always busy,  14 and 15 telephones in my garage, please dial 6  only at Norwegian day-time. (6 My desk)

:) :) :)  I feel I've really reached the goal  :)

Its working, on net and I have got nearly 60 test-calls to non answered extensions as 9 (busy) and 3 (ringing) during the last week.   
Very little feedback, but everything looks like its working. The next could be a voice quality test,  listen to a radio station or??? (at least it should be quite simple)

Most of the calls comes during my night, so its probably you over there calling.

Now I got another reason for invite you to join C*NET  and of course Telephone collectors international and read Switchers' Quarterly even when this forum has a more friendly layout.

Together its perfect  ;)

Thank you! without you and the other forums i would never even thought about getting this up and running.
