If you live in the US and you got an ISDN line from the phone company, and didn't purchase any thing else (like a little box called an NT1), then you have a U-interface. Usually the telco (actually, whoever you hire to do your inside wiring) wires up an RJ-45 if it's a new line. But if they're reusing and existing twisted pair that already terminates at an RJ-11 jack, they might just use that. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
