"Another mobile computing specialist (I forget the name) also sells the "tester for the same price. That'd be Mobile Planet (www.mplanet.com). The Line tester is basically a pen with an rj-11 jack in the tip. You insert it and get a reading of the line voltage, as PBXs are often higher than analogs. Sells for $24.95 and popular with travelers. "Maybe someone could post specifics on the converter? Another device from the Planet is the Office Konnector from Konnexx, a small box with a jack in it; you plug the box into the line, then your modem into the box. Or get a Konnexx handset modem, like in the "old days" which has the advantage of working on just about anything.
