My rural community is served by Centel.  A few years ago, we upgraded
our home service from a 4-party line to a private line.  Because of a
lack of available pairs, we had to wait for a line.  The telco solved
the problem by installing some sort of magic box on a post in our
community.  All of our lines have been wired back to it.  The
installer called it a "slick-96" box, and from her description, I
would guess that it is some sort of mux.  My guess is that the "96"
refers to 9600 baud.  So is this a digital mux?  Can it do any tricks?
