Thank you for your patience as I sought an answer for you. Looks like we haven't tested connecting two phones to the Phone 1 port using that adapter, but my contact figures it should work. If you have the adapter, I'd give it a shot and if it doesn't work, let me know so I can let the VOIP team know so they're aware.
Both phones answer calls, ring loudly, and sound good! Love the twin bell ringing of the "Lucy phone".

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your findings with us, Larry!
Okay, so I hooked up my pre-WWII Western Electric phone because I love the ring, but on a whim today I tried making a call from it. It worked. A dial pulse phone!
Very cool, Larry! :D
