A special service circuit is connected to the tip and ring lead pair and to the service lead pair. A control unit is also connected to the tip and ring lead pair and the service lead pair for receiving signals over either the tip and ring pair or the service lead pair from a telephone connected to the local line, and for generating a predetermined special service circuit enabling signal on the service lead pair. The enabling signal is received by the special service circuit which implements one or more special services in response thereto. The control unit also applies operating power to the service lead pair. The special services implemented include intercom, paging, tone ringing, etc. The control unit also provides power, control, rapid dialing signals, etc.
