re: mwave 2.0, England in country selection?

[Alex Judd <ajudd@quantime.co.uk>]

Out of interest for all England/America, America/England travellers the
difference between the phone connection systems between the two countries is
that pins 2 and 5 are at pins 3 and 4 instead. 

So if my memory serves me correctly, for an US -> English lead, create a
suitable socket lead connecting pins 3 & 4 to pins 2 & 5 of the English
plug. For Enland to US, create a suitable socket lead connecting pins 2 & 5
to pins 3 & 4 of a US plug.
