yes, It is possible to have viruses come in though dia-up lines, in the 90's and early 2000's viruses/worms/spam were rampant and spam/anit-virus were underdeveloped and malware was a problem.

but in the actual land line, that has no connection to a PC or whatsoever?

those are pretty rare nowadays, telephony is usually done over VoIP, i. e. the internet.
Theoretically you can write viruses for any complex(and thus buggy) enough connected device, but doing so would be extremely complex.

No it's not possible for something to exist in the wire. A virus is a program that needs a computer to run on.

thanls, thats what i thought

Theoretically it's certainly possible to have viruses on the switching equipment, however i highly doubt any exist, as developing those would be rather difficult even for someone as powerful as the NSA. And they have access to way simpler methods like:
a)wiretapping
b)covertly replacing your equipment with modified one.
etc.

the guy from the telephone company told my folks (they are old as fuck) that they had a virus on the telephone line and that was the reason why the phone would loose signal every now and then. I knew it was bullshit, but you never know.

Didn't he mean parasite signals instead of virus?

No, telephone wires don't store anything. They only carry electrical pulses for very brief periods.

Depends, can you write a mind virus?
