What I had in mind was an L-C-R series resonant circuit across the line,
basically a 16 Hz filter.  However, I hadn't thought about some phones just
electronically detecting the ring signal and then starting up their own
ringers, it probably wouldn't be possible to shunt the ring enough to make
it undetectable without upsetting the line in other ways (unless they use a
diac or something so it doesn't trigger till it gets to 32V or so)

I'd rather that feature was CLID dependent :-)
