devices you may connect to your line, as
determined by the REN, you should contact
your local telephone company to determine

the maximum REN for your calling area.

expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone
company communications facilities, or
require modification or alteration of such
terminal equipment, or otherwise
materially affect its use or performance,
the customer shall be given adequate
notice in writing, to allow the customer an
opportunity to maintain uninterrupted

service.
