Assistance with Cabling
I have purloined a 8 line moving message machine that was set up about three years ago but never used because of the way it was configured.
It was wired to run off a network but the network in question was very little used so neither was this machine. Anyway…now it’s mine and I want to get it up and running BUT the problem is: It takes a telephone plug which fits in the machine and the other end has a plug on it that plugs into a modem. Can I get a lead that will run off my com port and has a telephone plug on tuther end? I ask this question on here rather than asking it in some computer shop and having some sixteen year old’s wetting themselves laughing at the old geeser asking stupid questions! 😳 -

you can get a serial to rj45 (think its called rj45) converter plug, just looked at mine to make sure that is what it is.
a lot of phone hand sets have to cable you want going from the handset to the phone. but don’t know how they are wired .mine connects the serial to box of tricks on my car

Dave are you sure it is a telephone connection on the message board and not a network connection, the two of them look very similar.
