Service call, problem on my end, $50.  So, I started looking again. This time I did find a short...so, I hunted and hunted. Then I remembered a dead end run to my den that was no longer used. There, back behind the one desk was a cable with IIRC 4 pair.  The cat had chewed the insulation off and ended up twisting the bare wires together.  I couldn't have done a neater job if I tried.


I keep having these visions of the "Christmas Vacation" movie.
