towards the NT1R20 OPS analog line card (see Table 69 on
the card detects the low-resistance loop, it prepares to receive digits. When
the system is ready to receive digits, it returns a dial tone. Outward address
signaling is then applied from the telephone in the form of loop (interrupting)
dial pulses or DTMF tones.
