Default Orange Livebox Phone Adaptor - Help


I've just signed up for free Orange Broadband (free that is provided
you spend 30 quid a month on a mobile).

Their Livebox came with a phone adaptor which basically seems to allow
a normal telephone to plug in one end and the other to plug into a
standard Ethernet socket on their Livebox so you can then make free
VOIP calls.

Our cat took a liking to this adaptor and was last seen running out the
house with it hanging from his mouth.

I've tried the Orange shop but they don't seem to sell them.

Does anyone know if this is some sort of standard adaptor that I could
buy anywhere or just somewhere?

Its an RJ11 socket on the box apparently - no expert.

I can't see why you shouldn't be able to use any ATA, as long as you have
the required settings.

It'd likely be a big cat to run off with an ATA! I thought he meant the
BT-RJ11 adapter

Yes, I see that now..! But the question remains, how did said moggy unplug
it..?!

Oops must go, my 13lb furry lump has just come in and is demanding FOOD..!

Good question - but unplug it he did and we can't find it anywhere.

You sure it wasn't a fat tabby cat from East Leake

(in joke which only a very small minority may appreciate, but had to
be said)
