[VoIP] Just bought a Western Electric 202

I just purchased the following:

Pam had insisted that the beige 2565 in the living room had to go.
I never had a working key system behind it, anyway, and now with the
Asterisk, there was no real good reason for being able to select
multiple lines.

I'd sort of like to place it with a collector who will actually put
it into operation in a working key system.  (2565HK dated 7-76).

The 202 will end up on a new IAXy I just ordered, since my Cisco
ATA 186 adapters won't do dial pulse.

Up until now, all of my "antiques" were Western Electric phones
made no earlier than the 1960s, mostly in the 1970s.  One 500
with an external Touch Tone pad, and all the rest 2500 series,
mostly WeCo with a few other manufacturers thrown in, but I've
been getting old WeCo "old networks" from discarded phones to
put in place of any of the early 80s non-WeCo networks that start
acting up.

For my birthday, Pam bought me the first modern telephone ever in
the house, a snom 300.  Works VERY nicely with the Asterisk.
