Oddly enough I was scrapping an old Packard Bell computer today and noticed that the ISA modem had a very similar jumper system on it to select USA/EU standard.
Ok, but that's probably not UL/VDE approved for use on mains circuits since an ISA modem gets its power from the bus.

I agree its probably not. It just happens to use a very similar device.
This is the main issue. Sure, we could have Molex jumpers made but that sort of stuff raises hackles at the agency compliance testing lab.
