I am having an intermittent problem wherein the phone rings, I wait
for the 2nd or 3rd ring, pick it up and hear a disconnect. This
occurs on about half my calls on all phones on a particular incoming
line. The other two incoming lines do not have this problem. 
The phone company claims they have fixed it on 6 occasions (without
coming to my home) during the last five weeks (when the problem
first began). I have finally arranged for an "repair person" to come
to my house in a few days but dealing with intermittent problems is
difficult. Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution or
have some suggestions? Thanks in advance. --
