I want to connect an analog telephone set with Raspi which will house a telephone directory. Using telephone set's digits (alphabets) any user shall interact with GUI on Raspi to search for a number. Then picking up of the cradle to make the call through to the desired (searched) number. So basically Raspi to have a GUI with complete telephone directory and some interface with the telephone set.

I have this post useful, but it is using pi as a telephone set and the idea of a GUI with a telephone directory is missing.

I am new to the world of pi.

    What exactly is your question? Note: how to do this is far too broad. I would suggest taking the site's tour to get a feel for how to improve your question. – Steve Robillard Aug 20 '20 at 19:42
  • You'd have to modify the telephone quite a bit, does your telephone authority allow connecting modified equipment to the network? – Jaromanda X Aug 20 '20 at 22:02

Connect the phone to a ATA box. The ATA box is a box that convert old plain telephony to VoIP (Voice Over IP) and then you can use a VoIP PBX (suggestion Asterisk) that can interact with the telephone in the way you wish.
