I started to answer Craig Z's question, and decided the risks far outweigh the results! I don't know of any device that is designed for the purpose.
How about loop extenders? I know what they are, but I've never used one.

Thank you both. Problem is it's my house and we have about 10 of these phones so I'm in no rush to replace them. Here is a question though - Line one on our AT&T phones is the Fios line. Line two is a VOIP line. If I switch the lines, will this make a difference? Is there enough voltage on a VOIP line? It is my understanding that line one controls all of these features.

As long as L1 is the same for each and every unit and that there is enough voltage & current available, in theory, there should be no difference.
It is true that the sets do signal each other via L1's cabling. That's the reason L1 needs to be the same at every extension.
My thought is to use your primary telephone line as "L1".

The voltage still needs to be within spec on all lines that are connected in order to function properly. If the voltage is too low on one line, that line will not function properly.
