This has probably been addressed before (but I looked through most of the Telecom Archives and didn't find exactly what I was looking for). I must add four or five new phone connections in my house and was thinking that it would be much easier to use home-run wiring, ie. run from where the phone line comes in to each phone location, rather than a closed loop setup. I was wondering if there is any sort of mini-block punch down or equivalent, that would allow me more flexability since I will be running some six pair wire I picked up really cheap. I am already using two pair on two separate phone lines and if I used a punch-down setup I could later on add an intercom etc. Is this a reasonable thought? Does such equipement exist (relatively cheaply) ? Jim Ray Harris Semiconductor Internet: jdr@semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62B-022 Phone: (407) 729-5059 Melbourne, FL 32901

My question is: What IS a "mini-block punch down"? Might it be of use to me? Andrew Morley - Flossie - abm88@uk.ac.soton.ecs ... abm88@ecs.soton.uk.ac
