LINE AND TELEPHONE SOCKETS
      #205779 - Thu Jul 07 2005 01:19 AM

LINE AND TELEPHONE SOCKETS

At the back of the towers of computers are two sockets for
connecting telephone lines: LINE and TELEPHONE

QUESTIONS:
1. What is the purpose of each socket?

2. Which one is used to connect to my telephone line for a "dial
up connection" to the internet

Several shops/stores have given me different answers.

Line is for the actual modem and is connected to the phone socket on your wall.

Telephone is for plugging in a telephone, answering machine, fax machine etc into an additional socket in an adaptor

Unfortunately using the Telephone socket can in fact cause more problems than they are worth

LINE & TELEPHONE SOCKETS REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFO [Re: putasolutions]
      #205984 - Thu Jul 07 2005 07:47 PM

Thank you for a very clear and prompt reply to my questions. However,
I am still mystified because on one of the computers in the house we have attached the telephone line to the LINE socket, and on the other to the TELEPHONE socket, and both dial up and connect to the ISP
