I was wondering are there any differences between a regular phone line and
a pay phone line besides that one is a pay phone loop. I mean in voltages and
current. I am asking this because I purchased a Fortress Phone from a junkyard
($50 bucks.) and I wanted to connect it up at home. I have tried a bit but When
I connect the ring and tip to a pair of pads which are marked R T I only
hear a dial tone with the off hook switch in the 3/4 position and like that I
hear a tone in the backround. This is a rotary phone. Any one that has every
connected up a pay phone I would like to speak to. Thanks.
