Jay, I once ran into a somewhat simular situation. I had installed an
extension line for my sister in law. In the process I had come up with
one might call a junction box in a dark corner of the basement.  A
couple of months later, when we chanced to stop by, she complained that
the phones were not working.  Taking my extension out of the system
fixed the problem. When I opened up my junction box it was full of
spider webs. After cleaning everything up and plugging in the extension
line, the the phones were back in working order.  Apparently, the spider
webs had been shorting the wires together. Cleaning out the connections
is the only thing that I did.    Could well be that you have a dirty
connection somewhere.  Dont know if this will help but my heart is in
the right place (G)
