  1. Ha ha ha, that’s funny.

    I guess the only reason for why you’d want to hookup an old rotary phone to a Raspberry Pi is because you can!

  2. This is awesome! I just hooked up a rotary phone to our VoIP line at Workshop 88, and my next project is to get it to dial out.

    I documented the process here: http://blog.workshop88.com/new-well-old-workshop-phone/

    Any suggestions about how to inject the DTMF tones to get it to dial out?
