I appears that you are right and I was wrong. It is sufficient just to take the phone off the hook and not necessary to make a call. I think it would be best to have someone sent out there to take a look at it. It seems annoying because it is insufficient to unplug the phone or always leave it off-hook. > From: "Sonic.net Tech Support" <http://www.sonic.net/~support> > Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2008 14:41:50 -0700 > > Robert, > > Thank you for the clarification.
