Thanks, I hadn't seen that so clearly stated before! (i.e. that buzz
is known to be 100% a hardware issue).

OK, but do you need to be so imprecise about this? What can't there
be a definitive solution?

I must admit that I've never heard the "hiss" either, so I don't know
exactly what it means... but someone that I called a few days ago said
there was a strong hiss on the line.
(In retrospect, I should at least have tried calling again, as maybe
it was just a line issue.)
