There is no hard reboot for my phone line. The problem is 5/8 of a mile around the corner. Technicial told me last year he switched it to a new pair. Trouble is they're all from about 1935. None are perfect. I think summer's heat and static fry the resistors or whatever they use, but what do I know.

And they insist on testing the connection at the house to see if it's MY problem first.
