Thanks Rich,
I was expecting that. I was worried because on other type of cards if
you set the phone too far you'll burn the port of the card, mainly
because of the lack of capacity to keep such a long line up.
Now when you say 2 or three ringers, you mean 2 or three ring events or
phones ringing at once or what did you mean? I need 6 phones now,
and not expecting more than 2 ringing at once. (hopefully)
cheers

Hi all,
I need to setup 6 phones about 3/4 of a mile from the main box,
(can't do it with VoIP yet because of networking issues), does
anyone knows if the boards can resist such a length for FXS ports.
Right now there is a Dialogic MSI160 working fine.
The actual length in a straight line is about half a mile, it does
have a single cable point to point, but can't be sure where the cable
goes since it has to pass from one building to another, so it might
end up been quite a bit more distance.
If the answer is they can't handle such a distance does anyone knows
if there is an alternative, (line booster or whatever similar )
With the exception of the ring generator on the digium card, the fxs
port specs are basically the same as telephone company specs. Telco
lines in rural areas often times exceed six miles. So, yes the digium
card will handle your half mile just fine.
The ring generator on the card is much smaller then those used in the
telco, and is likely limited to maybe two or three ringers at the
distant location. Don't plan on attaching multiple phones to the fxs
port at your remote location. (Same is basically true with the sangoma
card.)
