That was my thinking exactly, except that I was concerned that 20W just
didn't seem like enough oomph to drive twenty of those old mechanical
ringers, and I wanted to determine if the official value for a REN
actually _was_ 1Watt.

Part of me says to drop it, and part of me says that since these TDM
cards are causing so much trouble (with no one figuring out what's
wrong), every crazy idea is worth at least a look.

Cheers,

Jim.
