I just plugged the RJ11 connector of my girlfriends phone into the RJ11
interface of the ThinkPad. However, the phone is connected to some kind
of telephone system (to use analog devices on an ISDN line).

When I tried to dial in, I used alsamixer to maximize the volume of
every possible sound source, by I didn't hear the dialtone.

Maybe I can try it again on a "real line" this week.
