Turns out I was the one that broke my net connection. Without giving the matter enough thought, I plugged in a modular phone cord without a splitter or a DSL filter, and this turned out to be the cause of my connectivity woes. Luckily I finally made the connection, and things returned to normal immediately.

Speaking of returns to normalcy, I believe we finally got the Tickle ad campaign removed (after a couple of failed attempts) after they slipped a decidedly non-work-safe image (bewbs) into one of their personals. Sorry about that.

Splitting it once in the beginning (as someone else already mentioned) is a much nicer way to handle it. If I wasn't bogged down with 3 other home improvement projects, I'd go into the attic and do it myself. I guess I'll worry about it next year.

I'm the someone you keep referring to. If you have easy access (as it appears you do) and you can easily run a new line to the DSL then it shouldn't take more than an hour or two -- with the vast majority of that being running the new phone line.

Understand that you'll be w/o phone and internet service until you get it back together. That's a pretty good incentive to have it done quickly

Oh, and why don't you like cordless phones? The only corded phones we have are for emergency purposes only (e.g. -- power loss). I just make sure not to buy any 2.4 GHz ones to avoid problems w/ the wireless network. The 900 MHz phones are getting hard to find now, but the 5.4 GHz ones are getting awfully cheap (just have to make sure it's 5.4 GHz only or 5.4G/900M and not 5.4/2.4).
