Yeah, I'm current on the bill. In fact, I'm such a great Embarq phone customer that they called a week or two ago to inform me that I was getting a $10.00 per month discount for 3 months sometime soon. They didn't mention cutting off my service.
My neighbors' service is okay, so I guess it's something wrong with my internal -- cables and instruments, not liver and intestines. Later, I'll unhook everything and reconnect a piece at a time. Wish I could remember where I put that 20 year old cheapo phone that I used too keep for power outages. It's great to move around the RJ-11 jacks to check connectivity.
Life's a bi

, but thanx for the help and kind thoughts, 07 & Kath.
