Someone Tell Me Wth Is Happening Here....
<div class="IPBDescription">Telephone troubles and walking asleep?</div> <.<
Today a pal of mine dropped by, but beforehand he phoned me and told me that he'd come. Unfortunately, I was asleep when he phoned me and he woke me up. I could fall asleep again, just to be woken up 30 minutes later by the doorbell. I opened the door and went to bed again.
3 hours later I got up and we started playing online via my LAN. Some hours later he wanted to call his parents, but the line was occupied. His sister is a telephone-maniac so this is kinda normal.
After continuous tries and some hours later we got suspicious, and I checked my telephone hardware (DSL-Splitter, NTBA, ISDN to analog converter, DSL modem).
The Splitter and the DSL modem were workign properly (we were online...) but when I looked at the NTBA I had a shock.
The power wire was unplugged and tied up.
(If you don't know much about ISDN, the NTBA is a box that has to be infront of the ISDN/analog converter, so if the NTBA doesn't work you can't use your phone lines)
Now, looking at the fact that it was in place some hours ago (remember my pal calling me?) this gets kinda iffy.
My pal did not touch it, and I didn't do anything either (at least while I was awake).
Did I walk asleep or what is this crap?
Oh btw it works now. I plugged the wire back in (didn't work), switched power sources (worked), then I unplugged it (and it still worked WITHOUT ANY POWER SUPPLY! This should not happen, and it never worked without power supply before!) and plugged it back into the old source, and now it works again....
What the heck is going on here?
