Is a telephone ring generator available, that would let me plug in an answering machine and ring it to make it answer? I would also need to connect an ordinary telephone to send touch tones to control the features of the answering machine, to record messages remotely, etc.
Nortel Venture phones are nice, but won't let us check messages left on an integrated answering machine from an extension phone. I want to send a ring signal on an unused phone line connection to hear messages left on the answering machine.
