I seem to recall seeing adaptors that had an RJ-11 modular phone jack on
one end and alligator clips on the other. Thus, if you find yourself wanting
to use your modem, but the only available phone is hardwired to the wall,
(perhaps in a hotel, where the television is bolted to the floor, etc),
you plug the modular end into your modem (instead of the phone line) and then
hook the clips onto something (or -things) in the phone's innards. I think
they get connected to leads in the handset somewhere.
I would like to know:
1. Have any of you folks got one of these, and does it work well?
2. What do you connect the alligator clips to?
3. Where can I get one of these adaptors?
I would like to use a modem with a multi-line phone that is hardwired
to the wall.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can send my way!
