Getting a rotary telephone working

Will a rotary telephone function on a cable line?

Scenario :
I've connected a 1950's rotary telephone to my Cablecom router, via
the RJ11 line input. The telephone is connected to the RJ11 jack with
the Cablecom RJ11->TT splitter which essentially presents two wires
that map directly to the (only) two wires from the phone (red/black).

- On dialing the line, the telephone rings. On picking up the handset
the ringing stops on the physical telephone, but continues on the
calling phone. Oddly the earpiece, once lifted, of the physical phone
sounds the ringing, just like I hear from the calling phone. That will
continue until the line rings out to Cablecom voicemail.
- On dialing from the telephone : There is no dial tone. Dialing a
number will produce a clear beep after each dial rotation, but does
not result in any phone being called.


Any advice appreciated..
