Red and Green are the Tip and Ring. Yellow may have to be strapped to
one or the other depending on the phone you have.
Some phones may not ring at all, due to special frequency ringers
installed in them for party lines.
Western Electric did not use these.
As to the ATA, MOST ATA's do not support pulse dial, though the IAXy does.
Asterisk does in the TDM400, though the decoding code requires some
modification for dial speed variance.
There are a group of telephone switch collectors that use Asterisk as a
tandem switch to interconnect old ( very old to you ) switches through
the Internet, so what you want to do really isn't that strange.

Ok... I am not a telephone guy... I was born after rotary phones, so
forgive my ignorance in this matter. I am trying to get a really old
rotary phone up and running with an ATA. Why? Who knows... just
thought it would be cool. The problem is that it does not have an RJ11
connector, instead it has three wires (green,yellow,red). Does anyone
know what that type of connector is called? Or know of a reference to
build an adapter to 2 line?
Thanks,
Sean
