Insufficient ringing voltage or current is a common problem with 'derived' POTS lines (from fiber, VoIP, cable, etc.). However, it is usually only a problem for those of us who collect and use antiques... any modern equipment like the Pana KSUs should ring-up on just about anything. As Charles said, sounds more like a programming problem in the KSU or a telco equipment problem. Hang a butt set or standard single-line phone on the line at the NID and see which it is.
Viking does make a ring booster if you need to ring bunches of phones (i.e. > 5 REN) from a single line, but it is highly unlikely it would solve your problem. -Mike > From: "Jeff Bagnall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Heh.
