FCC rules and regs
If anybody knows, it'll be fellow Stampers... :-)
What is the maximum allowable current draw from a telephone line and still be within the FCC rules for connecting stuff to POTS. (I'm speaking of United States/Canada)
That is... I want to build a device that will be powered from the phone line... but I know there are rules regarding that practice. I just can't find anything on the FFC web site.
Thanks very mmuch,
Don

On the other hand, perhaps I could use the AC ring voltages to charge up a capacitor and have it discharge through my circuit.... hmmm just ideas...
·laughing... and then periodically call the "telco test number" to cause the phone to ring again ... :-) and (laughing more) using caller id to detect the ring is from the telco test number... supress the ring from the rest of the home/office wiring.... hmmm :-)

Ill ask one of the guys at work, part of the company I work for is a privately owned telco.· Here is the trick though if you intend to draw power from the phone line it wont last long.· Any power draw will look like the phone is off hook and if you leave your phone off hook for too long they cut the power.·
