Nothing to do with DSL. Disconnect all your phones, reconnect them one at a time, call from your cell phone, find out which one is causing the problem. If it happens when NONE of the phones is connected, the problem is in your inside wiring or the telephone company, and you would disconnect everything at the protector and test again to isolate.

The problem was the way I had the phones hooked up to the phone line. I had the phones connected through wire junction boxes so as to use the cord from the box to connect it into the modular wall jack.

Here's a blast from the past: 20 cycles is still used because that how fast the average person could turn the crank. And we live in such a moderm world... - Dave S. - You can never appease your ideologue opponents.
