I have a schematic for a fone line emulator somehwere.. you can press a
button to make it ring and a few other things.. a bit complex and the
parts are estimated at around $100.
However, if you can force the linux box to answer and the micro to go into
term mode, you can use 2 9V batteries in series on one side of a phone
wire going between the modems.

First, Thanks to all who have helped so far...
I have some old modems (TRS-80, acoustic and etc.) which I would like to
use (flashing LEDs are cool) so, I want to build a little telco emulator to
interface with the modems in one of my Linux boxes.
I figure an LM556 for the dial tone... A tone decoder for dialing... Not
sure an easy way to decode pulse dialing.
As for ring... I am thinking using two charged capacitors and switching
them. That's the first method I came up with to limit the current cheaply.
Any suggestions? I'd like to do this for less that $25.00.
