I very much appreciate your reply, and I will try that solution. Also, if you could give me a bit of guidance about the bridge rectifier, how to obtain the right one and how to install it, I will try that. It's a pain every time I get a service man out who works on either UVerse or the POTS and doesn't worry about polarity since most modern phones are not sensitive.
Also, though not on topic, I see you're in Paso Robles. I was born in that town in 1944, and my parents lived at the time in Peachy Canyon, wherever that is. They told me it was very rural at the time. My father managed the local Karl's Shoe Store downtown, I think across from a park. This was during the war and Camp Roberts was hopping.
