- As the subject says, I am looking for any "specialty" numbers which
- might be good for New England Telephone in the Newton "332" exchange,
- especially the number to ring my own phone. I would also like to
- learn of any loop numbers (one port is OK), since what I am trying to
- do is to send a fax from my fax machine to my pc/modem/fax board in
- order to use my fax machine as a scanner. This means that I need a
- live pair with talk battery but without the usual reversal of
- polarity, etc. (Also, if anyone has any other tricks to accomplish
- this, I am all ears!).
-
-
- Thanks in advance!

- [Moderator's Note: I'll let people in your area write you direct with
- any ringback numbers they know, etc. Regards your request for
- loopback, I'm sure telco would gladly sell you a dedicated live pair
- (what used to be(?) called a private circuit or private line) with
- both ends terminating on your premises. But why not make your own
- instead: it is simple and easy to do.
-
- Place a 24 volt power supply with clean DC in the middle, with the two
- devices wired in series through it. Take your two devices off hook and
- instruct each of them to start their operation. You could probably
- get by with a 13.8 VDC supply from Radio Shack. PAT]
