   Hello, all.  In addition to cellular service I still maintain a   
   copper-back-to-central office phone line at my residence.  I've had this   
   for about 40 years and never had any problems - until now.  Here are the   
   symptoms (same behavior on any one of 3 extension phones):   
      
   1.  Phones ring as expected in response to calling party   
   2.  Called party (me) can hear calling party   
   3.  Calling party can't hear me   
   4.  DTMF (Touchtone) phone keypads produce audio tones but won't break   
   dial tone.   
      
   I've got a call into Verizon on the above but am scratching my head as   
   to what might be causing all of this.  Your thoughts would be most   
   appreciated.  Sincerely,   
      
   --
