Well, the dreaded scenario has occurred - I think my OBM is hosed.

System: 3B1, 3.51, 2M RAM, ICUS 2 disks, no cards, two lines (local polling
	on ph1, long distance archive access on ph0, aka voice line)

Symptoms: attempting to access ph0 from uucp returns "Line dialing failed";
	  using kermit gets me "can't open /dev/ph0: Bad address"
	  or (once) "can't read character: Bad address"
	  Also, when I call ph1 (I have a getty on it), the speaker is
	  activated on *high* gain, which never used to happen.

Solution attempts: reconfiguring lines as install, rebooting, deleting and
re-mknod-ing /dev/ph0, powercycling (with a long down time to ensure
capacitive decay), and dialing in.  Nothing helps.

Note that /dev/ph1 continues to function fine.  Hope someone can help me on
this one - I bought my machine from a guy who bought it from a VAR, and I
don't have either manuals or foundation set, let alone Hotline support.
