Thanks, --Bi(( Sure there is, it depends on the model. Plantronics makes three models of the phonebeam. We use them and I love mine. One model is a 25 pair type that requires a speakerphone block adapter to hook up. Those adapters are available from supply houses and come with wiring instructions you need to be a telco engineer to use. Phonebeam also makes a model that has a plain old RJ11 jack on the end. Those are easy, just plug them in to a wall jack and away you go. A third model is made to hook into the old Key system amphinol connector and work that way. Those also require a speakerphone block adapter. You didnt state which type you have, so I guess its not the easy one. Check with North Supply or some other phone supply house for the adapter, Plantronics can give you the type needed. They even have an 800 number, but I dont have it available here at home. -- ===================================================================== Sydney S. Weinstein, CDP, CCP Datacomp Systems, Inc.
