I'm looking for an easy to implement way to detect the receiver off-hook
warning tone.  Apparently it is made up of 1400 + 2060 + 2450 + 2600 Hz
tones that pulse on and off for .1 sec.  Are there chips that do this sort
of thing?  Can I be guaranteed that phones left off the hook all over the US
will receive this tone?

What books and/or sources are there that deal with telephone electronics?
Sources for things like special purpose ICs and anything else specific to 
telephones.

Thanks,
Anthony
