Hi Nigel,

I did say it was a simple solution and also point out that it wont work
with
all phones. Also wont work with a PBX.

One way would be to keep the line actually disconnected from all the
sockets
and only connect the line after an allowed incoming call was received.This
would involve having extra circuitry on the disconnected side to sence a
phone being lifted for an outgoing call so that the line was reconnected.

There isnt an easy way round it :-(

Keith
