Some of my phones are starting to crackle ... which causes data
connections to generate more and more frequent errors.  First, it was
only one branch within the house ... any phone connected to that one
outlet would crackle, hiss and generally not work acceptably.  Then I
had to check the line coming into the house (by disconnecting the
modular jack in the external telco box) and now all the phones in the
house have the crackle.

I'm an Elec Eng and should know this stuff ... but all my checks of
connections, wiring, show no visible problems.  Hopefully someone with
experience will know what to do.

Thanks in advance.
