I don't remember that far back, but I do remember it being illegal (still?) 
to plug a non BT Approved phone/modem into the BT system - ie if the device 
had a Green Triangle it was approved and could be connected to the BT 
network; if it had a Red Circle it was not approved and so couldn't be 
connected.  (I never understood the point of that as unapproved devices 
couldn't be connected directly, or indirectly - was there a way to use them 
outside the BT system?)
