    Could something similar be developed for use here...or is this totally incompatible with the irish setup?

    Is this equivalent is Eircom's NTU (see attached pdf)? Unscrew the two screws on the front to reveal a second socket behind which is connected directly to the incoming cable (ie. with no extensions etc).

    If you dont have one (it should be the first junction box wherever the cable enters the house), contact Eircom and ask them to provide one. Then if you have a problem, it makes it easier to eliminate internal wiring as the cause.

    the iplate cuts out the bell wire which can cause interference on BT lines. AFAIK there's no bell wire in the irish network so it would be ineffective here.

    It's not needed nor compatible.
    BT phones need a capacitor for ringing that in in the wall socket. This is why Fax machines and phoned for UK market need a BT to RJ11 adaptor with a cpacitor in it. If you replace the cord at the phone/fax end RJ11 with a straight RJ11 lead, the fax never answers and phone never rings
