Andrew,

	See my other post about REN's.  Linksys ATAs are re badged Sipura's. 
Every Sipura that I have seen has a REN of three - just like my other 
post.  Make sure that you don't melt your ATA!  (I don't actually know 
what happens when you have more phones than you are supposed to, maybe 
they just don't work, or maybe it actually does melt your ATA)!
