- No, you do need the Hayes eXTender to interface to the standard phone line
- (POTS - Plain Old Telephone Service) as well as ISDN. It has two plugs.

- The PhoneKit does decode the tones on a POTS line and sends the proper
- messages to the NXPhoneCall instance. There are some problems with some
- of the notification messages though that may cause some problems. I've
- researched voice calls quite extensively on POTS and have only tried it on
- ISDN twice. I'll completely research the ISDN handling of voice calls
- after the holidays -- the times are busy now...
-
- The first requirement for programming with the PhoneKit though is a
- network interface (see first question). Once you have this I have a pile
- of code......

- I can only really speak for the US/North America situation. I believe the
- hardware will work on the European phone network, but I have no experience
- in that area. (This discussion may best be continued in c.s.n.programmer)
