<font size="+1"><font face="Arial">That is a pretty long run.<br>
The type of analog phone can be an issue. How LITTLE loop current will
it operate on? Most need more than 20 Ma to signal properly, and the
voltage output of the ATA needs to be known<br>
Type of signaling? DTMF? pulse?<br>
Interconnection cable wire size and capacitance will affect high
frequency response, loop current, inductive pickup and pulse shaping to
name just a few. The ATA requirements need to be known. A total loop
resistance of 500 ohms should work, but go out to 1200 and most will
fail<br>
Do you really have control over this or will you be renting a pair from
the local telco?<br>
Protection should be applied on both ends for safety of the user(s) and
devices.<br>
There MUST be a better way???<br>

If you
have any details of ATA boxes or other similar devices that I could use
to do
this, I‘d appreciate your input. It must be able to use a regular
analog
