The stuff our local telco uses seems to be especially weird.  The
ports *are* configured for "long cable" (which gives too much level),
but if they configure them for "short cable", the signal is mistreated
in a way that the line doesn't come up at all...

Thanks for the confirmation (to all of you that have responded) that
this is "the way to go" :)
