That number doesn't sound familiar, but I threw out my page of notes
taken as I went though the mill several times.

My wife absolutely *detests* dealing with phone repair, plumbers,
electricians, auto mechanics, etc., etc.  Thus, it falls upon me to
arrange for things to be fixed when they break.  Also, she didn't
think of it.  The line that was working is the Answering Machine and
Modem line, which only I really make any use of (unless you count
phone solicitors who leave messages or refuse to).

Anyway, thanks much for the number.  It's in my "Day-Timer", now!
