did you try a different phone?

Yes, I did try one other phone. I will try another. Could it be that multiple computers are feeding off of one ISP?

Maybe not enough power at the USB port to drive the ringer.

Try a powered USB hub. However, not all USB hubs provide the same power either. This one is sold by an MJ user and is said to supply lots of power.

az2008:

We did buy what you suggested and Voila! The phone now rings.

Another issue I've had pretty much all the time is that I can hear the person on the other end just fine, but I don't sound so good to them, e.g., choppy or delayed or sounding like we are on a party line. Any Ideas?

Thanks from So. Calif!

Yes. Can you start a new topic with a subject "choppy voice" and I'll respond. That will make it easier for others with the same problem to see it and get some ideas.

Thanks! I'm so determined to make this work! I can't stand paying the telephone company with all their 'other costs'.

Cheers!
