Telco keeps screwing up my phone line (ca every 18mo for the pst 10yrs) and
insists they need to come in because it's my fault. Usually they cut my line
while they are installing a neighbor's line. Most recently, it prolly was the
squirrels. So, instead of removing ten gadgets to prove it's their fault, I
want a one second op

I found the earliest undivided phone line netering my house and put a 2way
2pole switch on it so I can switch from the main ingoing line to an RJ11
jack.. but I said, why should i need to hook up a phone to this to test the
line, why not an LED.. Ok, it seems I need 2.7K resistor in series.. seems
easy'nuff.. since it switches on only momentarily, I wonder if I'm
overkilling
