That sounds right, I'll give it a try, but there could be problems
since I have call waiting and 3 way calling, hitting the hook switch
could activate those functions. My Nortel phone has a link button so
hitting the hook should not cause a problem. I don't have any real use
for it since all my phone all have holds on them. Found a lot of other
old stuff including Bell and GTE tech manuals for working on all kinds
of telephone. Those I can use.
Thanks for the information
