I have a question about analog telephone line interfacing. I've read about
the basics, such as voltage and current levels (high voltage on ringing)
etc., current flowing when off-hook and I understand all this.
I'm having a bit of trouble comprehending how I can put my own audio signal
onto the line when there's already audio on the line (e.g. from other
people talking). All high-voltage protection aside, I capacitively couple
my circuit's audio output onto the line right?
My audio (that I want to put on the phone line) will be coming from a low
power audio amp like the LM386. After blocking the DC output from that amp
I've got an AC voltage audio signal. Where I'm stuck is, how do I output
that signal onto the phone line when there already exists AC audio
(voltages? currents?). Is it voltage or current fluctuates that make sound?
Thanks for any help you can offer,
