I didn't realize that party lines still existed. We haven't had them back here in the sticks in probably 35 years. I am surprised to hear that they exist in California. The one thing I did learn is that computer modems are different depending on where you are. My mother and I were given computers by my uncle...mine was a laptop and hers a pc. Both computers had difficulties back here because our phone lines were much different than the "urban" lines of California. I didn't know that there was any difference, but once we both got new modems neither of us had a problem. Maybe this is something for you to look into.
