You don't quote any numbers here, and 'longer' is not anything we can relate to. However, I can say that the FXS line drivers on Digium analog modules should be able to handle 1000' runs or so, but not more than that. This should be equivalent to what any standard PBX with FXS ports can do, unless it has special 'long line' drivers. -- Kevin P.
