arfur mo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 it is still only a 2 wire connection, in the UK we use 2 @ 5 at the socket, simple remedy is to wire a UK master socket 2 & 5 to the spannish socket, simply remove it and attach your wires to the incoming line terminals. job done, or could be for cost of my flight and free 1 week rent regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

luggsey Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 A family member has moved out there and has taken his digital cordless phone system with him, he can't get it to work so it was a simple yes/no situation to anybody that has tried it/knows the standard out there. No free holidays........only me! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

james.wilson Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 dont they use an rj11? ie the little 4 pin style plug. If so then you will find the inners and outers are back to front for a modem lead, as most modems use the inner2 and most rj11 jacks use the outer 2 either that or the lines dead securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

arfur mo Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 like James said, might be a dead line. if not there are adapters for everything, i'd have thought there would be one for this problem ready made. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
