Years ago I read a series of books where the protaganist learns he's a
teleporter when his "Bell is rung" by an aging teleport. Things like
anti-teleporters, highly addictive drugs being used to try to coerce
our herro, and a galactic spanning company controlling the teleporters are
included in this series. Also, there is the concept of a dimension
where momentum energy can be added/subtracted so the teleporter or
items teleported
can match the velocity of the destination and not keep the velocity of
the source location.

Unfortunately, I don't remember the characters name. The story was
told in the future and on various planets. One last thing, there was
a mass limit on how much any teleporter could teleport - but I don't
remember what that limit was.

Anyone know the name of this series, books and/or the author?

First thought was "The Galaxy Primes" By E.E. "Doc" Smith, but that's not it. Then I remembered a series of books by Anne McCaffrey, which I think started with "To Ride Pegasus," but I don't think it's that either.

(but then again, is it? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_McCaffrey#The_Talents_universe)
