    Hi Busy signal,

    Can you tell me what the status of the Tel1 light is? Is the light solid or flashing? Also, if you connect one end of the telephone cable to the telephone port on the back of the modem and connect the other end to the telephone, do you hear a "busy" signal?

    I'll check the T1 light the next time this happens. I am always able to restore a dial tone by rebooting the modem, but this is happening too often now and it never happened before the Voice Everywhere app. I've also written to Cox Support to report the problem and ask for a prompt solution.
