Nope, and that's a big oversight.  Then again your people responsible 
for the phone systems should know about this issue and issue warnings 
about plugging in analog phone devices to digital phones.  And that 
happened about 0% of the time I was in my former job.

Very good thought, I'm just adding to it based on my experience and 
what the cause of it is.  So when any of us go to do this sort of 
work, you don't end up blowing up your own modem and scratching your 
head going huh?  Thinking this should work, when in actuality it 
won't, and having to spend $ to get a new modem card.
