Update: we **think** we’ve got our internet/phone problem solved. Over the weekend, we discovered that when Comcast reconnected our phone two weeks ago, they did so only to one jack in our four-phone-jack cottage. This jack was one we never used before, and AT&T thinks the wiring is dicey in it. Anyway, AT&T restored our phone jack configuration today, and so far, so good. You can, as always, keep up with news about cooleysekula.net at cooleysekula.net/news.
