Shawn, descript DC/AC line characteristics more detaily and i can help
you.
I done devices like you asked about but for Russian phone standart.
(DC=60v AC call=120v/25Hz)

The main idea is to control connection the phones to the line through
some
switch and when AC ringing is appear than make this switch open.

WBR Dmitry.
