Yup. I've heard what can happen when "good ports go bad".

This really doesn't seem to be a bad port issue though as I hear this on the Partner ACS at the house, the one I maintain out in the field and the Merlin 410 that backs up that Partner ACS.

I donated a brand new Magix system to a camp out in CA. They had a Partner ACS R3 and were interested in upgrading. During one of my phone calls with the LCON, I mentioned the background noise observation.

Our next phone call, the LCON said that the digital phones do seem quieter than the analog/hybrid Partner phones. :shrug:
