[comp.dcom.telecom] Modular Adaptor for British Phones

tad@ssc.UUCP (Tad Cook) (04/04/91)

Does anyone know of an adaptor that will plug into a standard RJ11
modular jack and adapt it for a British telephone?

As I recall, British phones do something funny where they break out
the ringer on a separate wire, and there needs to be a capacitor in
the phone outlet in the wall in series with this lead.  So the adaptor
I need would have a male RJ11 plug on one side, then the three wire
connection to the British phone on the other, with the capacitor (I
assume running from the ring side of the line to the third wire on the
British jack) in the adaptor.

Any source for something like this in the USA?
