Title: Great for boosting ANI on dinky VoIP adapters
Product review: It's 2012. I don't have a phone line run into my apartment, nor do I have access to dial-up. Why in the world would I want to buy this box? Well, I bought one of these phones:Cortelco Kellogg 2500 Desk Mount Phone, with the intention of using it with a fancy VoIP box (Linksys-Cisco SINGLE FXS RJ11 ANALOG ADAPTER ( SPA1001 )) so that I can make calls over the internet.The problem is that many dinky VoIP boxes don't actually provide enough voltage at a high enough current to actually ring the bells on one of these older phones. If we hop in the time machine and go back to 2001, we find that these phones were still in common use and that any device that you'd sell for a phone line would have to support them. Going back to 2012, if I put this box in between my VoIP adapter and my phone and don't hook up the other jacks, I automagically get enough ringing voltage.
