My guess (based on an actual occurrance with my residence line) is that your line is bridged to another drop pair in one of the phone company's cable termination boxes. It is not uncommon to leave a drop connected to a trunk pair when switching service -- presumably the drop pair will get disconnected and reconnected to another trunk when new service is ordered for it. The phone company just assumes that no one will check the demarc for dial tone. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
