Thanks for the idea Brad--I've checked my worksite and even deleted my phone
number settings so the area code wouldn't be checked but it's actually
getting a number really close (and probably worked at one time) for my local
ISP's number. It's almost like it's pulling in an old "Earthlink" default
phone number. Perhaps I should set up a totally new ISP setup and not
choose Earthlink as my provider? Although in the setup there's only the one
number I've entered...hmmm.
