2 into a standard telephone
wall jack.
IMPORTANT:
Wall jacks for digital PBX systems may resemble
standard telephone jacks but are not compatible with analog
devices such as modems. Be sure the modem cable is

against the digital lines producing excess current. A warning
buzz will sound briefly when excessive current is detected
during a call attempt, and the attempt is terminated with the
phone line back on-hook.
