residential phone: we can call out, and we can also receive calls, but the phones don't ring...

this just started today, sometime after 9am. working fine before then, and we didn't touch anything re: the system today.
behavior:
- we can call out fine
- people calling in say it just rings & rings
- we have no idea that someone is calling unless we happen to be looking at the CID of a plugged in phone
- we can pick up the phone and have a conversation if we happen to catch it at just the right time
- same behavior at the NIC or whatever it's called (the box in the garage).
tried:
- i've unplugged our main wireless phone and tried it w/a wired phone, no change
- i've unplugged our verizon broadband modem, no change
we have a tivo that uses the phone line; i'm about to give that a shot.
this is really bizarre...
thanks for any ideas,
scott.

Just FYI, this cleared itself up today. The only thing that changed was our area warmed up from record low temps to the 40s today. How's that for a mystery?

Sounds very strange! I hope your house isn't haunted. =P
