Jack, whenever you come across a ISDN installation in Germany - beware! When ISDN was introduced in Germany, it differed from every other European standard, and to this day everything connected to it is under the sway of the ex.state-monopoly "Deutsche Telekom", a company unable to live up to its marketing efforts. Connecting to any analogous device within the frame of an ISDN installation requires a hardware device, a digital-analog converter whose physical presence can be detected from the wall jack � it should have the option of connecting the bad old "Deutsche Post"-plug. If this is available and you have the appropriate adapter everything should be fine. If another analogous device (such as a fax machine or telephone) is connected to the analogous outlet and features a RJ-11 jack, you might get connected as well by plugging in. But then it depends on the make: German telephones, as sold by the Deutsche Telekom do not have the same pin-outs as in the US or GB, although they use the same physical format � which has given rise to a thriving market of customized cables and adapters. As to that I can only point you to a British company which sells everything you never imagined: TeleAdapt.com Take it from a German and Good Luck Edgar ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
