Last post by rcourtney - Today at 11:23:23 AMIn another chat, someone asked why am I doing all this hard work?
Ha, because it is very cold io the winter here so a stimulating project to keep my mind active is necessary!
I still needed the RS232 device to control the Hi 1200/Low 300 modem speed.
Dialing, I needed RS366 to use the Old Bell System ACU.
I am on VoIP, so I could have written a program to send a SIP INVITE message to my provider, but that is NO FUN!

Last post by Robert Gift - Today at 10:18:13 AMAuto Answer is in SETTINGS > Accessibility > Touch > Call Audio Routing
Ours is set to 3 seconds - which is minimum possible
Now no need to touch the cell phone when a call comes in!
Different ring tones for different people calling in.

EDIT
Scroll down to Ringtone, then > to Ringtone list

Telephone Component Identification / Re: 302 SCREW BOSSES QUESTION
Last post by RDPipes - Today at 04:48:14 AMQuote from: HarrySmith on Yesterday at 09:06:38 AMIt is Vern's but I did not get it, at least not yet. I am considering it. I just bought a 500 E/F from him so I am not in a postion to buy another right now. Funny you recognized his workbench
There's only one person that has a bench that looks like that Harry.
Did you also see that that phone has a white RUBBER cord on it instead
of it's original cloth covered cord?

Last post by Robert Gift - Today at 02:45:05 AMThank you.
Need to answer all calls because there may be new or unknown hospital numbers.
Could not find any categories in this iPhone 15.

Last post by SUnset2 - Today at 12:29:37 AMOn my Iphone, I went through my contacts and set ringtones by category. For the default, I have something quiet and unobtrusive. If your phone supports IOS 26, there is a call screening feature where unknown numbers essentially go to voicemail without ringing.

Last post by Robert Gift - Today at 12:10:42 AMCan a ringtone not be set for the individual caller?
PRESTO, the most noticeable ringtone, is set for hospital and police dispatch numbers.
Other ringtones for wife and others.
Now only one ringtone for every telephone number??
Thank you.

In 1-ring it would auto answer without my touching anything.
(Perfect when driving blood platelets redightsiren and police or hospital calls.)
Wife gave me her old iPhone 15 Pro Max. (She gets new, I get hers.)

Last post by TelePlay - Yesterday at 09:07:42 PMI'd leave the old ringer connected to the magneto for historical show and tell and install a C4A which will match the capacitor on the network and put less of a load on the ring generator.
The network might have a number embossed on the side with all the terminals, otherwise it might have to be removed momentarily to see what's stamped on its side. Only needed if doing anything with the writing. The C4A ringer would use the capacitor in the network between A and K terminals.
As an FYI, I stuck a C4A ringer into the lower battery box of a "AE Self Contained Railroad Wayside Booth Phone" leaving the AE ringer hooked to the magneto, both isolated from the POTS circuit - that phone had a 101A induction coil in it.
