The phone signals are all sitll analog I believe. I know the lines are all four wire copper from the 60's.

I agree with you about getting them to admit the problem is half the battle. I was so sure that when I called the phone co they were gonna send me back to the DSL folks.

Phone co is sending a tech out to fix the line.
Sometime in the next 51 hours. (Between now and 6PM EST, August 6th)
Lots of withdrawal symptoms out there.

I have approached Alcoholics Anonymous to inquire if we could open a chapter called SE4 Anonymous.

For those in serious trouble, we should provide a suicide hotline.

There is but one bit of good news in this tumult...

...at least Geoschmo isn't getting his DSL service from Verizon.

Hey, what is wrong with Verizon? I am currently considering taking a consulting contract for their billing and customer care services...
