Don't know what part of town you are in, Scott. I've been on the phone--literally--all weekend on business, etc. Phone lines down near you?

Well, this happened 3 times yesterday and I thought it was pretty trivial, but annoying nonetheless: when I made outgoing calls to some friends out of state (to Michigan and Minnesota) they were unable to hear my voice. I had to go downstairs and use the payphone with a calling card. With one of the parties the problem later ceased, but I thought it was odd overall.

Scotty,

I tried to call NH from Ontario just before 11 this morning, and couldn't get through at all. I got the weirdest recorded message: "what number do you wish to see on the display?", and then got cut off. It's now noon, and no change.
