1 BT Diverse 2010 base station (4 handsets registered) = REN 1
1 Betacom handsfree wired phone in the study = REN 1
1 one-piece wired phone in the cellar (Node 0 location) = REN 1
1 Betacom Preview 2 CID unit = REN 0
1 Hayes Accura 56K voice modem = REN 1 (?)
1 Comfort panel = REN ?

and occasionally, 1 PCMCIA modem in my laptop. = REN 1

All this is on line 1 on my Home Highway box. The digital line has a PACE
ISDN TA on it, and line 2 has a Diamond Supra 56K modem.

I'm assuming REN has nothing to do with CID, and only affects ringers? -
All
my phones ring perfectly OK, so I don't think I have any problems there...
(I'm also assuming that I have a full REN 4 limit on EACH analogue line,
not
a total of 4 across both lines?) - Even with ALL devices (including the
laptop) all phones still ring OK!!

I don't have any bell type ringers, only electronic ones, but I will try
removing each of the wired phones and modems in turn. - Can't remove the
comfort panel of course - the alarm will go off!! - Andy, I know you
monitor
this list, do think there could be any effect at all caused by the comfort
panel? - Comfort is the 1st device on the incoming line, everything else is
"inside" of that...
