I assume that's the same as ringer equivalence.  I don't think that's a
problem.  There are only three phones.

One of them is 0.7.  The wireless phone has no rating on it, and the
other POTS phone doesn't either, though there is a REL: 1.0B on the
back.  

Also, this problem occurs even with only a single phone hooked up.

I wish I had some test equipment.
