I would not interpret the R&TTE Directive that way. Its intent is for equipment directly or indirectly connected to the public switched network. If ther is no network connection, there is no requirement. Furthermore, it is the interface to the network that applies. For instance, PC's on an Ethernet LAN with connectivity to the Internet via telecommunications lines do not need to meet the RTTE. But, the router or server connected to the network does -- or at least its interface to the network. John P.
