Larry, Humm….unless I mis-read Bill's comments, his problem wasn't that the connector itself was non-standard, but that the wire attached to it was not a standard telco wire, and replacing with a std-telco wire fried T/S. However, I also seem to remember that the keyboard cable also isn't a std telco cable (wall to phone cable) but is a handset cable. My memory of the difference between the 2 types of telco modular cables is that on the wall to phone cable they are arranged like this: end 1 end2 pin1………………….pin4 pin2………………….pin3 pin3………………….pin2 pin4………………….pin1 Whereas a handset cable goes like this: end1 end2 pin1…………………..pin1 pin2…………………..pin2 pin3…………………..pin3 pin4…………………..pin4 That could certainly make a difference.
