Now I'm wondering about superimposing ~90 VAC (at 20 Hz) to simulate ring.

I think that the ""dialing modem could be configured to ignore the 
incoming ring while it's dialing.  If not, some analog circuitry might 
need to be applied.

I wonder if a momentary break between the two sides (still applying 9V 
to each) while applying ringing voltage to the receiving side would work.

Now I need to figure out how to stop my brain.
