Bonnie, there are direct connect DTC ports and modem DTC ports. A DTC 16 accepts two cards, each containing 8 ports. The
cards may be either a direct connect card which supports pins 2,3 & 7 or a modem card which supports pins 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,20.
(Hey guys, if I'm wrong here, post a correction! I'm doing this from memory.)
I would suggest you get a DTC 48 which accepts 6 cards and specify one of them to be a modem card. DTC 48's are relatively
cheap used.
