*No* central office should reverse your polarity upon call completion anymore. This sometimes happens on operator-assisted calls, but your polarity should remain exactly the same on a direct-dial call. Bitch *loudly* at your GTE technical people. Furthermore, a polarity "guard" is nothing more than a bridge rectifier which can be had at your local Shaft for 99 cents. There is nothing wrong with your phone... _H* -------
