Default converting an old rotary phone to work now

I believe that the old rotary phones were 3 wire, not two.

That was for selective ringing on a party line.

You are correct.

Just hook the green and yellow to the green
on the new jack. Red to red.

I agree.

Since there are still many, MANY rotary phones in service out there, I
am unaware of any PUBLIC switch that does not respond to dial pulses.

Also, more and more services that, in the past, required Touchtoner
(press '1' for this, '2' for that), are converting to voice response so
an old dial pulse phone is actually returning to nearly full
functionality.

What goes around, comes around...
