I like the looks of the 4x12 distro block. Very neat and clean install. Might not be a bad idea for residential install. Better then the crap leviton modules. Ofcourse, can always jut use a 66/110 block, but it would look more cluttered. That might be a good reason, more incentive for them to call you to change their set-up  The rest of that post is pretty crappy tho

Jeff, are you saying that those pictures are good or bad? Looks like crap to me. Obvously some CG by the way those CAT5 cables are terminated on the blocks which, by the way don't even have brackets.  -Hal

I am tempted to post the following reply:
Even if it was temporary I would not ever do work like that...I certainly would not put my name on it.
Your quote that Home Depot selling 66 brackets separately makes me assume you got your blocks at Home Depot? By chance are you a computer tech and not a phone tech? Some things are better left to professionals...

Look at his response! By the way, my post was moderated, their moderator said '[Lets try to keep our criticism a little more constructive please - Dennis]'
Ha, they want constructive, hmm they already have Home Depot in the post lol.
Yes I got them at Home Depot, primarily because it's the closest place and I don't have to wait for it to ship but the place of procurement doesn't really matter. If this were a permanent install then by all means I would have bought and installed the brackets for them. But since I knew it was getting ripped out and likely never used again anywhere, why pay for it?

Yes I am a computer tech primarily and while I don't consider myself a professional or claim to know how everything is done that doesn't mean I did it wrong. I agree it isn't the professional way to do it and most people would have never seen it had I not taken a picture to help Wayne explain his point. Sure most people would have still gotten the brackets anyway but I looked at it from a stand point of wasted money and I'm sure anyone else doing this for temporary use would have thought the same thing.
AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

I said, if you want to spend 12 bucks on a block then go for it!
Too bad he doesn't know what they should cost! Thank you retail world!

His last reply...OOH he is using a Crisco system, how nice!
Believe me, if this were for anything other than my own personal use at the office I would have gotten the brackets and done it "right", especially if I was being paid for the job and even if it were temporary. The voip system isn't in place yet cause until now we hadn't settled on how it would be done, what provider, what technology behind it, etc.
Originally I was going to do an Asterisk server out of one of the spare servers here and use Polycom phones or such. The trunk would have likely been a ViaTalk trunk. I then started broadening my search just to see what else was out there and found I could get Cisco phones for about the same cost as Polycom or Linksys phones. I really liked the Cisco offerings over the others but Polycom would have been my fall back choice.
Recently we started saturating our single T1 so when I contacted FDN to inquire about a bonded T1 I mentioned the voip plan and he gave me a quote for a PRI as well. I compared it to the ViaTalk trunk and individual PSTN lines and found the PRI to be the better deal. We're getting a 2821 router to run the bonded T1 and PRI so I'll likely run CallManager Express for the phone system. Right now I'm just waiting on the supplier for an updated quote on the router and once we get it in I'll schedule a time for the cut over of the internet and phone system.
