- The answer -- at least one possible answer -- is that the phone
- company runs line tests every day at about the same time ... (The same
- thing happed to me but at 6:20 AM and would wake me up) ... I don't
- remember why but I ended up buying (about $4 at Radio Shack) a
- polarity phone line tester; it should the polarity was reversed. Then
- all I had to do was to change the red and green wire around in the
- jack and I didn't have anymore pings.
