I have a pulse princess phone on the kitchen wall that is still working and is attached to the original Motorola VT-1005 ATA that Vontage provided when they first started in 1995. I have had this unit in continuous use and it receives pulse dialing as well as provides a very robust ring voltage/current. The web interface for this ATA does not allow configuration settings and the unit attempts to retrieve an FTP configuration file on boot from the provider.
Someone on dslreports.com years ago reverse engenered and worked out the format of the config. file and created a config file creator program as well as a serial script to hook to its TTL serial port to change the address of the TFTP server. I now have it providing two analog lines from voip.ms that have a strong enough REN to power several old analog phones with real bells in the house.
It even allows you to pulse dial class five codes like disable call waiting and call voice mail. EX. 1,1,6,9 = *69 if touch tone dialing.
Even with all the modern features, I still cannot replace Procomm+ due to the hundreds of aspect scripts I have painstakingly created to setup many devices out of the box. This is for use in a telecom data center.
This is the best newer terminal replacement I have seen in years for quickly opening multiple serial tabbed connections with SFTP and xmodem (still used for backups on legacy devices like my door maglock system and SFTP for recovery flash restore on some embedded devices) If I am not running a setup script, the terminal is much nicer.
Too bad it does not support the legacy VT terminal modes I still require for extreme legacy devices. Telecom does not retire a device still carrying traffic until replacement parts on the second hand market are not available anymore so this is an edge case and not something 98% of people would desire anymore.
