Is there a way to boost phone line power?

I've seen REN boosters for sale before now, but the easiest way, a Panasonic KX-T308 or 616 is your best bet, as each extension can handle up to I think 3 REN, and 3 multiplied by 8 or 16, means lots of phones to ring...

I see ring boosters on ebay, at 93.00 each..  and that Panasonic is a phone? what good would a phone do to increase my REN?

The Panasonic 616 is a phone system ("key system") originally used in businesses or large houses. It has capacity of 6 outside lines and 16 extensions. The extensions can be either multi-line Panasonic phones or regular rotary or Touch-Tone single line sets (or a mixture). You can call from one extension to another and receive or make outside calls. On a single line set you dial 9 for an outside line.

The search box is a handy thing:
