Out of interest for all England/America, America/England travellers the difference between the phone connection systems between the two countries is that pins 2 and 5 are at pins 3 and 4 instead. So if my memory serves me correctly, for an US -> English lead, create a suitable socket lead connecting pins 3 & 4 to pins 2 & 5 of the English plug. For Enland to US, create a suitable socket lead connecting pins 2 & 5 to pins 3 & 4 of a US plug. Alex >At 12:06 22/12/95 -0600, you wrote: >>I'm from England, and the phone system is very similar.
