Here in Ithaca, the phone company installers do "them on the left and you on the right", and twice in the last 6 months one of those clips has popped out or shifted just enough to screw up a connection. Plus, would you believe it, for 4 phone lines on an internal phone system plus a modem and fax line, I have a total of 4 of these boxes of various sizes, plus 2 boxes of an older vintage; some installed by the phone company, some by the phone system company. One of these days I'm going to have to spend an afternoon and trace all the damn wires and figure it all out. I mean, at the current rate, if I get another modem line I'll run out of wall space in my utility closet! -- Robert J Woodhead, Biar Games, Inc. !uunet!biar!trebor | trebor@biar.UUCP "The lamb will lie down with the lion, but the lamb won't get much sleep." -- Woody Allen.
