ON second thought: I re-read your message - missed the part about the magneto. Maybe you shouldn't connect that phone to the PSTN after all! (or to a digium card)
Magneto-generated ring detection is a bit beyond the digium card spec I'm sure! Cheers! Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

It is a Western Electric set in a varnished pine box with an earpiece you hold in your left hand and a mouthpiece attached to the box. You crank the magneto with your right hand to signal the switchboard. The two dry cells inside are dated 1935, and I'm throwing them away because they're leaking acid. Wouldn't it be a kick to be able to ring this phone from an * server and have a conversation. There are several lugs inside: L1, GND, L2, COND (no condenser installed), E, and K. And of course the two battery lugs. Does anyone know anything at all about this set? I realize the CO supplies battery instead of the telephone, but can the phone be modified? Also, am I going to blow a FXS card if I don't get it right?
