You don't have call-waiting on that line, right? Phone companies test lines daily. I've been in places where the phone bell gave a tinkle (not really a ring) at 11 P.M. every night. Phone company software is often configured to drop a connection that has been up 24 hours. My daemon just redials when this happens.
