By mechanical, do you mean strowger, or crossbar, or even TXE (which used mechanical reed switches)

(Strowger would not normally cut you off ringing, TXE usually would).

The answer to (2) is gererally no (unless they were monitoring with some fancy equipment).

Im curious why you would want to know this ?
