Hmmm, that puts a bit of a differnt light on it.  Did you specify anything
"special" like a metallic circuit, DDS, or exotic conditioning?  Did you
specify nothing about termination?  I've found some installers that coudn't
conceive doing anything except what is on their work order, others seem
willing to do whatever you want.  The biggest problem is usually ordering
the lines in first place with the right babble and key-words...
