Jeff, hmm, put the fishing pole away for a moment...
If it is a fiber line, then there would be nothing to connect into the system, i.e. the fiber would have to be converted into copper somewhere. Some piece of equipment that the fiber plugs into (fiber has special plugs that have no relationship to regular copper phone connectors). If it is a digital line on copper, then it too would need some kind of convertor else you would not be able to talk on it. Therefore I would conclude that you have some kind of copper line. Since you say it rings and rings, then can assume you know what the number is? The first test would be to plug a plain old telephone onto the line and see if that rings, and if you can make and receive calls ok. If that works ok, then (assuming the ksu is programmed ok) there might be a problem in the ksu. I don't know the real specs but the ksu has a pretty big tolerance for voltage variations I think. If a plain old phone can make calls but also doesn't ring, then there could be problem with the phone company equipment. Maybe someone else would have more ideas.
