[NTLK] german notephone problem

Hello all.

for most of you this is somewhat off-topic, because it is about
telephone line standards in europe.

I live in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and i own a German Notephone.
There are some differences between thetelephone systems. for instance
the RJ11 to connect the phone to the landline has a different wiring
scheme. in the netherlands, we use the middle pair of wires, but in
germany they use the outer pair. could there be more differences?

because:

i can place a call or let the newton place a call, but i am unable to
go on hook again. could it be that the voltages are also different?

is there someone in the netherlands with as working phone to compare
the innards?
