Neat!  It works fine plugged into my POTS line.

Unfortunately, I can't have more than one "real bell ringer" 2500
set on my line (I have an avacado green 500 rotary set in the 
kitchen), or my DSL craps out when the phone rings.

I'd call SBC^Hat&t, but I'm afraid that they'd just look at me
funny if I requested a ringing-voltage check.
