Nope - the same physical analogue phone works fine on a normal home phone connection, or on a PABX extension. 80% of the extensions here have phones which arecheap warehouse specials.
I think part of my problem was a DSL filter that was getting in the wrong way. Anyone want to buy a filter? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Errington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 9 September 2004 2:15 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OT] Phone over data cable - howto?

I sort of assumed that PABX phones were different in general, often because they are tied to specific functions of the company exchange. I did a quick Google, but nothing showed up. Maybe there's no difference. Maybe something else about your experiments prevented it working. It could be you have a digital phone, which of course won't work on an analogue line. Andy
