The present invention is an adaptor module that allows an electrical connection to be established between a communication system and a communication card. Advantageously, the adaptor module can be configured to provide an interface between the communication card and various communication systems, such as conventional telephone systems, cellular telephone systems, digital telephone systems, local area networks (LANs), personal area networks (PANs), wireless systems, etc. Additionally, the adaptor module can provide an interface between a plurality of communication systems and the communication card. For example, the adaptor module may provide an interface for a plurality of connectors from the same type of communication system and/or the adaptor module may provide an interface for connectors from different types of communication systems. Advantageously, the adaptor module can provide simultaneous communication with these various communication systems. The adaptor module is preferably configured to be attached to a standard PCMCIA card to facilitate communication between a computer and a communication system.
