phone conundrum

soooo, mom says she's been trying to call tonight and getting a busy signal. huh. I pick up a phone, no dial tone. but, LOOK AT ME! I'M ONLINE! not sure what that means. there seems to be a problem, but danged if i can find it. I went and checked all the phones, cause sometimes kitties know them off the hook/chew through cords, but everything looked fine. sooooooo, any other ideas?

update:

The number you are reporting is part of an outage.The estimated restoration time for this outage is 7/1/2006 6:00 PM.

yay! let's hope my house doesn't burst into flames in the mean time. or i have a serious accident of some sort. i suppose i should be thankful the dsl is working.
