	He's trying to check that the voltage drop over the distance
isn't too much is my guess.

	something that is fairly important to insure that the cabling is
"ok".

	My recommendation would be to take a phone around with you.
It's a lot easier that way.  You could always take some cat-5
cable and cut it in half and use a voltage meter with it.  You
could probally even go by radio shack (or other local electronics
retailer) and get the necessary gear to simulate to actual draw of
the phone..
