I, too, am on Nauticom.  Actually, North Pittsburgh Telephone Trust's 
reselling of Nauticom, but it's the same service.  I've got a similar setup 
as Logan, too, except they put the NID filter on the phone lines where they 
enter the house, not each phone.  If this is an option, I recommend it.. 
seems a lot easier to me.
