Are you using a ring-adapter for the UK that includes the capacitor to put the ringing current on pin 3? Something like this: http://www.voipon.co.uk/rj11-adaptor-with-ring-capacitor-p-278.html Or take the output of the TDM card and punch it into a BT "master" socket and take the phones off that. A lot of modern (ie. cheap import) phones don't need it, but some still do. My refurb. 746 needs this.
