I contacted AT&T, they could not locate any local problems so they said it must be either (1) caller's long distance company or (2) our toll-free provider.
I contacted toll-free provider and told them the problem, next day their customer rep said "problem was fixed" (which was written on her screen, so we don't know the technical details.)
In both cases I supplied the same phone number which I believe the problematic one, according to my own records (but again, I assume I isolated the problem just because I heard the bad static when I bypass the phone system on that particular line).
No static calls so far, fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the help.
