There's No Way Around It - I Have to Call AT&T

An update to last night's post...

I awoke this morning full of hope... hope that my new miracle phones would be charged and ready to bring forth a crystal clear dial tone and all the popping static I'd been hearing for over a week would be but a bad memory.

It was not to be. The phones are all charged, but the static remains. So now, I need to make the dreaded call to AT&T. If at some point in the near future I stop putting up new posts, it's because AT&T has come to 'fix' the line and instead destroyed both the phone and Internet connections.

Grrrrrrr.
