Hi,
The REN booster that Kevin has provided the link to is the type that I am familiar with.

Terrys circuit looks fine apart from the fact that the relay may have to be fed via a bridge rectifier to accommodate for line reversals, the only other problem that I can foresee is that, unlike "off the shelf" REN boosters, it wouldn't be a BT approved device so there is a (small but unlikely) possibility that, in the event of a visit from a BT technician, the connection of the additional home built REN booster would be frowned upon.

Regards

Andrew
