Need to talk to someone who has implemented phone interface

Hi,

I asked the newsgroup about this a few weeks ago, and got some
good pointers. I was looking for a phone line interface. I was
pointed to some sites, found a couple of interfaces and have
ATTEMPTED to implement one, but I just CAN'T get it to work (see
attached GIF of circuit). I am using a capacitor,zener pair,
resister network to feed a 2N27 opto-isolator. It isn't working
for me and I would like to know if anyone has an interface that
works. I need to detect RING so that I can switch the phone line
via a Stamp/Relay combo.

Any help???

TIA,

Larry Woods

    Dear Larry,

    Your gif file must be uploaded to the groups section of yahoo. But from
    your description I would suspect your opto couplers are giving you the
    problem. If you will send me the gif file, I will look into the matter
    further..

    Hi Larry and Leroy,

    I would be interested in finding more about the circuit. I am
    presently working on a home automation project remotely controlled
    through the phone line and any information would be helpful. You can
    email me at vmansueto@h....

    Thanks,

    Vince

    Dear Vince,

    I sent the gif circuit file to your other address.

    Let me know if it works..

    regards,

    Leroy

    Hi there,
    I'm working on a CID project, which basically needs to
    detect thr RING that you also need to detect. I'm
    detecting that ring with the CID chip. It has a pin
    which is driven LOW when a RING is deteted. The chip
    costs $CAD 3.00, and it requires a small amount of
    external circuitry. I think it is the easiest way of
    detecting your ring while actually classifing it as a
    valid ring.
    you can get the chip from Holtek, www.holtek.com. The
    chip is part# HT9032C. The C version is 8 DIP but they
    also have a D version which is 4 DIP.
    cheers
    radu
