telephone receiver wanted for audio recording



I have been wondering how to wire a telephone receiver's microphone for
use with a sound board. I do some audio recording with friends and
have wanted to convert a telephone for this purpose for sometime now,
but just recently had the gumption to do the research. While scowering
the net for possibly a how-to or some information, i've only found
people making or selling wire-taps for recording both sides of a
conversation. I also found information on the microphone; telephones
use a crystal microphone. Will I be able to just slap an xlr end on
that bad boy and record away or will i need to put an amp on it? so
many questions! any thoughts?
