Hi
I have a telephone that has RTT A 56 stamped on the bottom. I have searched and searched and have only come up with RTT B 56
Can somebody please tell me why?

It might be the manufacturer; A = Automatic Telephone and Electric, B = Bell.

When I searched, I had more luck with RTT-56A rather than the "RTTA 56" you've quoted.

Darren's aparrently correct in that this link suggests that the A-suffix means it's made by Atea: http://contact.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISA...=ianatnumber10

Presumably the B-version is made by Bell?

Nick.
