asterisk users - May 2003 - Strange Issue with connected TA 750

Hello All,

I'm having a weird problem when connecting up to a TA 750 from adtran.  The
problem I'm seeing is that the third wire on my 66 block is behaving as the
tip (or ring) for every extension.  Is this indicative of a bad BCU?  The
only extension that works properly is extension Zap 2.   Every other
extension is crossed with Zap 2.  Very weird.

Anyone see this before?  Did I get a bum BCU?  Also, when performing a ring
test from the admin port of the 750, the same behavior is present.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks in advance.

you sure you don't have a multiplying block (I use the nordx stuff but I am 
sure there is an equivalent on every manufacturer's stuff)

did this once accidentally, and was so pissed when I realized the problem, 
I made sure that block would never get used again.

I check the product id every time now before I punch down anything.

Okay, I upgraded the firmware to the newest release, and connected alligator
clips to the contacts on my cable.  I still get the same problem.  Any ideas
on this?

Thanks,
