Also, since the data modem is in the >form of a board for installing in a PC, I am keen to avoid using the >British Telecom connectors, since this will make the board tooling >substantially different from that needed for other markets (clearly >component assembly will differ for the various markets). > >For most countries where USOC (RJ11-type) modular connectors are not used, >adaptor cables or plugs are available that allow a data modem or facsimile >machine, equipped with a US modular socket, to be connected to the local >wall socket, while providing a socket of the local variety for connecting a >telephone set. These adaptors generally also allow for the data modem or >facsimile machine to connect or disconnect the telephone set. However, I >have not come across an adaptor or adaptor cable of this kind for the >British market, and wonder if such a device exists. Can anyone tell me >where I can find such a thing? > >I know that there is no regulatory reason for using one type of connection >or another. However, in order to market successfully in a given region, one >should avoid doing bizarre things. Can anyone tell me whether the >connection of a data modem board, equipped with a US modular socket is >acceptable in Britain, or whether all such boards are sold with integral >British Telecom sockets? > >Incidentally, I am aware that the tip and ring connections need to be made >to the outer pair of whichever socket is being used, as dictated by the >wiring of the British sockets. > >Thank you in advance for your answers. > >Best regards, > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >------------------ >Novarex Enterprises Ltd., >POB 2833, >Jerusalem 91028, >Israel. >Tel: +972 2 581 0995 >Fax: +972 2 581 3750 >Mobile: +972 5 067 8686 >E-mail: [email protected] >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >------------------ > >
