That's a pretty good bet.  Depending on the phone I've regularly had to 
swap wires, solder wires together or add capacitors to get phones to work 
with my ATA 186 and even ordinary phone lines here in darkest Sussex. 
There seem to be a number of wiring variations that can cause problems - 
you can use google to get many references to the possible solutions.
