I didn't even catch that pun at first! heh heh...
Yes, the demarc is extended using a 66 block at each end. The NIU connects
to a 66 block, and we have a conduit running clear across the building to
our branch where the line terminates at another 66 block, and from there we
go to a biscuit jack to which the CSU connects. The demarc has been
checked and re-punched, but perhaps I should do the same at the branch, just
in case.
Thanks again!
