Indeed. The Annex A, Annex B issue is a sidetrack. It is not
relevent to my problem.[color=blue]

The warrenty would not be valid in the US anyway. AVM do not service
this market. However, I have UK equipment I want to utilize with UK
numbers.

For the Fritz! I paid USD50.00.

Mine was purchased from Portugal. The CD that came with it is in
German.

Since then I have downloaded English language documentation &
dowloaded and installed English firmware.

Interesting. The Sipura 1001 that the clock is connected to does sometimes
fail to register, but it's ok at the moment and I just tried several calls
from both UK and German Sipgate accounts, plus the PSTN and all worked
fine. There shouldn't be much of a ringing tone unless the line is in use,
in which case you'll get ring tone until it's free (max 30 seconds) but
you should get the audio ok, I'm puzzled.

Try this access route - call 2838111 (Sipgate) or 01352 838111 (PSTN). You
will get a short voice prompt followed by a dial tone. Then dial the
number 05648081.

Let me know if that works.

Then I think you will have wonderfull box now?
At least I am very satiesfied with my 7050 (allthough

What differences and what problems exactly?

I have an international (English) 7050, and two German 7050 (one of them
patched to Annex A, the other one patched to English + Annex A) - and all
three of them work perfectly on my Annex A line here...

BTW, I think the Austrian version is also in German with Annex A (out of the
box).

Yes, it is.

The hardware differences in most cases have no effect on the
quality of the annex A broadband connection.

The difference is among some resistors value used to build
the internal DSL frequency filter of the device.

I am too with mine. It's really a precious.

This is false, because in case of broken device
you should have to send the box to Germany.

Not too bad.
