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 )

thanks
