A Teles bought in Europe has a S0 interface. This doesn't mean they won't work. This means that you need an NT. You need an NT here too, but as you say, in Germany it's supplied by the PTT. > There is a chance to get a Teles working in the US by also carrying an > NT for every card with you, I wouldn't have thought that bringing a German NT would be the way to go. To the best of my knowledge, NTs are available in the US too. Not every device has an integrated NT: it's not economical if you have multiple devices. And of course, if you intend to install more than one Teles board on a single line, you only need one NT, so you don't necessarily need one NT for eevery Teles board. > but i doubt this setup will work because of timing differences in > the US. By "this setup", do you mean using a German NT? In any case, what timing differences do you mean? Greg
