I have an old telephone (circa 1963, from the dates stamped inside) that works in every way except that it doesn't ring when someone calls in. Sort of like the ringer is turned down, but I checked that, of course. Surely the wiring has changed since then - I understand that there used to be 3 wires/line and now there's 2 wires/line. Maybe with a little redirection of the internal wiring I can get the ringer to work? This thing would go great in the garage, but I need to know when it's ringing. -- Griff Miller - miller@monarch.wg3.waii.com My opinions are mine, not Western's. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline." - Proverbs 1:7
