My phone appears to be dead... no dialtone on any of the jacks in the house, or on the test jack in the box outside the house. So it appears to be a phone company problem, and they're going to take a look at it - in a couple of days. In the meantime, DSL is still working most of the time. (If it wasn't, you wouldn't be reading this right now! It's not like I'd be able to use a dial-up account as a backup in a situation like this...)
