My phone lines drops calls intermittently. As soon as the call's
gone, I redial and it works fine...but occassionally it may drop
again. Typically, it clicks, and the line is dead....two dropped
calls this morning.

The phone company has been out and "no problem." I have DSL, cordless
phones (VTECH) , and and answering machine (AT&T)

Simplest explanation would be a bad connection in the phone or line.

How often does this happen? How long would it be before you concluded
it had been fixed?

Try a different phone. Disconnect the answering machine and DSL and
see if that makes any difference. Etc.
