In the ZIAD PHD Telecommunicator, I find five oddball symbols:

*****
** **
***
*****
*****

This is supposed to indicate a Phone ON HOOK (The top two rows are the handset, the bottom two rows are the base and the middle row is the switch hook. I know. Use your imagination)

*****

That is a phone OFF HOOK (handset, switch hook and base again).

***

** **

This last character is for ZERO VOLTS (The top half of the figure is a 0, the bottom is the letter V. It indicates a dead line, the test leads not connected to anything etc.

***

** **

This is a LONG PULSE INTERVAL. Could be caused by a hook flash or an on-hook in the middle of a dial string.

This is supposed to look like an infinity sign and is an IN BAND TONE INDICATOR. Caused by non-dtmf tones (300-3000 hz) on the line for at least 500ms at a level of at least -24db.

Hope this helps.

Hmm.

Those did not come out the way I typed them in. Apparently the system Left Justified everything and stripped away the spaces. I'll try to scan the pages and email them to you.

Sam came through, I've got the important pages now.

Thanks everyone!

Sam stick to telephones and give up on ASCII Art
