Or, if you can justify spending a little more money for a possibly more
reliable test -- check out a Line Simulator (Viking is one common brand
name).  Mike Sandman sells these (amongst other people), at his site
www.sandman.com; they're about $160 the last time I looked. Simulates
line current, ring, dialtone, and permits dialling from one side to the
other.  They're very nice for this sort of thing.

Hey, Lee?  Could we set up a config file whereby you could just hook
two ports together with a null modem cable, and they'd cooperate?
