Well, the nice things about telephones, in the US anyway, is that they are
generally backward-compatible with each other.
Why not, as a first step, connect a normal telco line to L1 and L2, and see
if you get dial tone through the receiver?

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!
