Why can't I use a longer handset cable with my keyboard? 
I've tried 25 feet, then 12, haven't tried 6 yet.  Anyway, RKM says it
can be done, but using 25, or even 12 foot cables, the keyboard is
unable to establish communications with the computer, the red caps
lock led just comes on a constant red (no flashing) which probably
means something (haven't looked it up yet...).  So what is the
limit?
