If I am severly overwiring I terminate everything on 110 blocks and use these: http://www.siemon.com/e-catalog/products/Factory-Terminated_S110_Patch_Cords.asp for my data jacks. They are about $10 each or so and give you huge amounts of flexibility. You can still use cross connect cable for normal voice circuits if necessary. dave -- Dave Weis "I believe there are more instances of the abridgment [EMAIL PROTECTED] of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."- James Madison _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
