You can't be to sure as you would know if you spend as much time on
here as I do (isn't it amazing how that quick 10 minutes turns into a
few hours, well at least she who must be obeyed, yeah right, knows
where I am)

Here again it wouldn't have been the first time I've seen one on a
window sill but I must agree about the bad design. The old 'blue box'
design do seem to have better heat dissapation the the white plastic
icky things> I ordered a Netgear switch, can't remember the name but
it was definitely the version 1, so they sent a plastic v2 model
saying that the v1 wasn't available. The joke is...I believed them to
my cost so that's yet another piece of plastic technology under my
desk.

Certainly I'm fitting them in as many places as I can, leads to a bit
of waste though as we can't get the faceplates on their own now, so
you have to use the faceplate of a new NTE5A front & throw the rest
away.....It's called progress you know...

Actually it didn't make much difference to the phones as most
reasonable to good filters contain a bell capacitor anyway & what with
most phones using tone dialling .....no bell tinkle

It's becoming more & more prevalent with more & more of the new
models. Can't help but wonder if we'll start to see the same types of
problems as when they've used multiple master sockets, faint/one way
transmision & the like..

They certainly don't make (or maintain) them like they used to. The
good old days when you really knew someone was ringing the circuit you
were working on. It's taken nearly 17 years to get the worst of the
'MDF rash' of the back of my hands you know, that's when men were men
& the others wore hand protectors ;-)
