Welp, I got around to hooking up a plain old phone to the line today with the same results. I don't have a multimeter handy at the moment, but will try to get a read on that soon. I do know this phone lines number, btw, forgot to mention that... But, I'm ultimately guessing that I need to work something out with SBC.
