Gratuitous anecdote: When we moved into 1330 Beacon Street, Brookline, MA (the SS Pierce Building, 19th c) the phone closet had knob & bolt copper termination blocks. At some point the telco, then New England Telephone, came to replace them with 66 blocks. As they worked I joked that they look like Alexander Graham Bell put these in himself! One replied: Well, this is a prominent building, and Bell was the founder of New England Telephone, so there is a pretty good chance he did or stood right here managing. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@TheWorld.com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
