-If you don`t need an external adapter with the US-Duos then I wonder
what exactly does this device do except switching lines to connect to
different pins in the phone wall-socket? Consequently you would only have
to find out about the wiring layout on both ends to make up a connection
cable (and to ease the pain)?
Still interested in this
