Default Re: Another pulse to tone possibility

I must admit that I too would have assumed the RJ11 to be for the 'phone and the screw terminals for connection to the line. Well done for establishing that it is the other way round. I wonder how many of the reported failures result from the false assumption.

Incidentally, when I bought my Dialgizmo its label had inadvertently been stuck on the wrong way round so that the socket was labelled "line" and the plug "phone". Once I had established the error I peeled off the label and turned it round.
