-
- In my case, I have two Telco company sockets that allow to close "busy"
- or Off-Hook, by the change of one switch in the "probe" position.
-
- This position only connect a 600 ohm resistor in parallel. This simulate
- the charge of one phone in the line, and force the busy tone...
-
- This telco sockets is very used in the "oldest" FASCIMILE PSTN lines.
-
- Hope this help.

- Best regards.
