It seems like after that my connection I suppose that phoneline got damaged. They are very vulnerable to humidity. My friend had some problems of similar nature. Call some techician to check your cable (impedance etc..). I bet he will locate a part of the cable that needs to be replaced, ie, he will say: from here to here the cable works good, but after this wall/place/whatever the signal is weaker. -- # Janek Kozicki
