Ah Sandman http://sandman.com use a relay that goes onto an fxs port, call that fxs port and you have a connection. Since that only work momentary you will need a flip flop relay, the advantage is that by calling it again you can turn it off. Ring relay: http://sandman.com/wizard.html#UniversalRing
