- I have no idea whether there's anything to this story.
- However, some words on stupidity:
-
- - People connecting devices to wall sockets serving other purposes (like
- a phone to 230V power, or a POTS modem to a digital PBX) don't deserve
- any better.
-
- - People designing the local standard phone jacks (might be RJ11, might
- be something else in your part of the world) to be used for anything
- but POTS should be put in the pillory.
