They replaced the old cable from the pole to the house with a new, two-line cable. They replaced the old box with the new "Telephone Network Interface," which is a box in which my internal lines connect to a terminal block, which, in turn, connects to the telco line via a modular jack and plug. Just the thing for isolating problems to either my in-house wiring, or the telco line. It took exactly five minutes to connect my modem to the new line, and another two minutes to test the whole thing. Pac Bell, for once, did something right. You see this, John Higdon? :-) Donald E.
