After doing what
http://michigantelephone.mi.org/distribute.html
suggests I still have a low level "hissssss" (white noise)
on the line. It is not objectionable during a conversation,
but I wonder if it is ok or should I try to do something about it?

("CNG") that reassures people that the 'line' is still 'connected'?

Good luck,
