Re: 755CE telephony kits
Unfortunately, the telephony kit was omitted from the order (oops !);
can anyone tell me what's included in it, as it seems very expensive
(150 pounds here in Britain). Also, as all I *really* need is a modem
cable, is it possible to just purchase one of these ?
The kit consists of two bits of cable and a box. One cable goes from the
TP to the box and has a ferrite (I think) around it, presumably to
suppress spikes. The box has various bits to protect the "delicate" BT
phone system from your nasty rough Thinkpad. This is a requirement
of the BABT approvals stuff.
It is expensive, mine took over 2 months to come, but it works. And if you
switch the lead to a US type one (which involves a screwdriver since they
clip off the lever to stop you doing this), then it works in the US too.
Oh what a giveaway :-)
