Scratching my head here... how does Telecom wire the phone cables? I've got a Rentel 410, with an RJ-11C at the phone end, and a BT jack at the other end.
I'd like to plug that into the modem pass-through phone port, and the modem into the wall jack, to connect to the PSTN </obNetworkContent>. The modem pass-through port is RJ-11C.
You should only need 2 wires. (Even in the old method the 3rd wire was
for the ring on slave sockets)
The 'official' standard is that the phone line RJ11 jack uses the middle
2 pins. Some phones for some reason use other pins on the phone end.
Use a multimeter to find out which of the pins connect from the BT end
of the cable to which pins on the RJ11 phone nd . Then make up a RJ11 to
RJ11 cable. The pins are 1&4 on a 4 pin BT plug, 2&5 on a 6 pin plug.
