ETR016 gone wild, again

[AndrePa]

Hi, just curoius about reliabilty of ETR016 cards. My BC905, and 2 mls12D phones stopped working. I can adjust the ring olny on the MLS phones, so they seam to be getting power. Winspm shows NO errors, all cards are green under maintance. When these extensions are dialed from a MLX / 4412 phones I get a busy signal. I did a cold start, but no luck. warranty on this card is over, last ETR card lasted about 1.5 yeas too. Is it worth sending in for repair?
Magix CKE5 V2.1, TDL412LS-ID, MLX408, 008MLX, 012T/R, ETR016.

How far is the fartherest extension located out of the building?

I've had issues with ETR Cards. It went like this:
Magix went across the board stupid;
016 ETR AND all cards downstream from it were not showing up on inventory, and when starting WinSPM, got errors that those cards were not recognized.
016 replaced, problem goes away.
This can happen in a heartbeat with no warning.
Hey AVAYA! ==> how bout a board fix?

Merlinman, the furthest extension on the ETR016 card was only about 150ft. The BC905, and two mls12d are on it. All Phones are in same building, except 2 mlx10d, on IROB in storage shed/workshop. All MLX, and 44** phones work OK.
Pepperz, the last time I had a ETR016 card go bad, calls could not be transfered corectly on all phones, there fore MerlinMail wasn't working properly.
I noticed this ETR card there is only one lucent branded QIP chip! the other 21 QIP chips are AMD ( AmericanMicroDevice)
