Hi all,
Sorry for being off-topic, but I am desperate. I asked whoever I know
who has adsl, computer and electric equipment stores, bezeq, STFW ...
And I have a suspicion that there are here some people with much better
knowledge than me about phones stuff.
My problem: I can't use an analog modem with the microfilter bezeq
gave me for adsl, e.g. I can't send a fax while being connected to
adsl. When I try, the modem says 'NO DIALTONE'.
What I know, up to now:
I have a PCTel winmodem, which I already mentioned here, which works
under linux. I got with it a cable, one side RJ11 and the other BT
(after searching a lot, I found out this is the name of the connector
used in Israel and Europe. Short for British Telecom, who invented it).
Each side has four wire ends, and they are all connected, as
1-4
2-3
3-2
4-1.
This all worked well for a year.
I also tried, on the same line, a regular phone, which also works.
BTW, the cable that came with the phone, which has, of course, the
same connectors, has different wiring: 1-3 4-2, and the modem doesn't
work with it (and the phone doesn't work with the modem's cable).
I just talked with bezeq's support, and the guy there told me he has
mostly the same setup at home, and that the analog modem works for
hime through the microfilter. So it should work, but he had no idea
why it doesn't work for me or who I should ask.
The microfilter I got from bezeq is MF601UK. google doesn't know about
it - the closest I found is MF601F, and the very detailed specs didn't
help me at all. I got from bezeq 3 microfilters, all same model, and
they work the same (that is, adsl works, phone works, analog modem
doesn't work).
Does anyone here know better? Do I need a different cable? A different
modem? microfilter? Did others here try using analog modems through
"adsl microfilters"? Did it work? what models? What cables?
Thanks a lot,
Didi
