Well, Qwest found the problem.
Thank all the gods of engineering that dad likes to leave extra phone wire when he's adding jacks.
Rats had chewed the fax/dsl cord bare between the downstairs main jack and the dining room jack, but there was enough cord to clip off the gnawed section, bridge, and get the 'net working again. Now I just have to call an exterminator to deal with the underlying problem so they don't get the wires again.
If the landlord tries pecking me about the kitchen again I'm yelling at him.
Happy birthday, Tae! Have further evidence of rats as a present! Fuck you too, house, fuck you too.
