Well, std old phone lines actually have TWO pair of wires (or is that 2 conductors and 1 ground...) anyway they can support 2 different phone #'s on one cable. So they may have it set to be...1 pair for the phone and the other for the DSL modem.

Or they can multiplex phone and data...but your modem would need a dedicated "phone" port and you'd have to have it configured properly at the central office too.


....All under the "I think" disclaimer.

The general problem with your deliberately vague references Bear, is that I'm too dull to understand which Richard you are usually referring to. There are several candidates from your perspective. Although I often admire your restraint, in this case it appears that it's only there to NOT provide otherwise helpful information. :glare: So I don't consider that a feat of personal strength.

However, you do have my curiosity going on the subject of your disdain. I assume not the OP.

atta boy, bear! stay strong! ;)

I turned jelly yesterday.

Dad and I have "Sunday Phone call" protocol. *I* call *him* some time between noon and 2pm. If he has to go out for WHATEVER reason, *he* will call *me*, anytime.

I call him at around 13h55... no answer... leave message.

I call again around 14h40... no answer... leave message.

14h55 and getting antsy.

I call again around 15h15... no answer... leave message.

Think: Maybe my aunt invited him over for Labour Day cookout (as she usually does for other Summer holidays).

Call her... he's not there. She gets nervous... I get nervous. Told her I'd wait 15 more minutes and then make the trek over there if no callback.

Start drive at 15h30.

Get there... and he's there, along with my aunt and uncle. Grrr. Say's "he forgot" to call me.

Grrr.

Lord God King Richard, Atty. You know who it is as well as I do.

Just not getting involved - at all - any more. You see, almost on a daily basis, what Outside threads turn into. Tell me WHY I would want to keep that sequence going on purpose? It makes no sense.

The Internet is there for all to do their own research. I post useful ACA stuff here, as a "courtesy" of sorts.

Yeah. The OUTSIDE stuff can get ya "pulled in".

I refrained from the Syria thread too. Almost posted a few minutes ago since it's on the news again this a.m. But refrained.

It's all a dog-and-pony-show for the media and us sheeple (affectionately meant) from Congress and the POTUS right now anyway.
