I have heard that some North American c.o. switches signal subscriber lines
by sending a "loop disconnect signal" lasting ~800 msec, while some European
and Asian switches would send a polarity reversal signal. Further, several
economy switches send a busy tone to the called port.
Any information at all concerning this topic would be appreciated.

This feature is available to most, if not all, subscribers in North
America. Some telcos offer it standard, others require you to ask for it,
others charge a fee for a "quicker" signal. (i.e.. Standard signaling would
come through @ 3-7 seconds after disconnect, quicker would be 0-3 seconds
after.)
Incidentally, even if a switch does battery reversal, it still has to open
the circuit to switch the polarity, so any equipment that recognizes OSI,
will accept a battery reversal as a proper signal. (Assuming it can
recognize the relatively quicker open circuit of the battery reversal.)

Do not know how it does it, but there is a feature in the DMS-100
called COD cutoff on disconnect which can be added to a customers
line that will prevent an answering machine tape from filling up with
the sound of a busy signal when the caller hangs up withouy leaving
a message.
I believe the 5ESS does this automatically. Not sure about the DMS-10
tho! Hope this help some.
Dave.
It is this principal of the switching system, that is needed for
hobbyist's to build projects that will hangup after the caller hangs up.
There are many ways to detect this signal, ranging from really simple
opto-isolater's, all the way up to specialised IC's from the big
companies.
