 We have a small supply of PhoneNet type boxes, (about 25). The brand name
is Compunet, the supplier is Trimar U.S.A. Inc. (based in New York city). The
cost per unit of each communications box was a lot lower than PhoneNet from
Farallon, however the boxes have been less than reliable. 

 When a network box fails, we take it apart and do some basic voltage checks on
it, and come up with nothing. Has anyone had experience with Compunet/Trimar,
and have you found out why the boxes fail from time to time? The really
strange thing is a box can work fine if it's put back on a network, however
some fail a second time. The symptoms of failure consist specifically
of what looks like a regular break in connection, but nothing is unplugged
from the box. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
