Weirder and weirder.

I received the Viking Talk Battery Booster TBB-1B and installed it in the MagicJack line. But I did not plug its transformer into AC. So it's in the line but not powered at all.

Now I call a company where my 2565 desk set consistently fails to activate their menu system with the MagicJack. But now, the keys work and the menu responds. I take the Viking out of the line, call back, and the menu does not respond. Put the Viking back in (again, with no power) and now the menu does respond.

So the theory that the 2565 does not have enough line power to work the dial properly is now called into question. Especially since I have not added any juice to the line.

Would love to figure why this is working with no added electrons.
