true enough, though as the RJ11 is a US (Bell) standard anyone folowing
standard RJ11 practice would have the line on the centre two.

agreed. I would venture to suggest that the Linksys/Sipura kit (if not
all VoIP kit) follows US practice and is two wire only on the centre
connectors.

That is correct.


Quite a lot of UK equipment uses RJ11's with the same pinout as a BT
plug though. That is line on pins 2 and 5. Lots of DECT phones are
like this.

Almost all complaints of `my linksys ATA is faulty` turn out to be an
incorrectly wired RJ11 to BT adaptor, or one without a ring capacitor.
