Thanks for your reply EV. I do have some 149B adaptors but another telephone person [not on this forum] told me that there was no way I could pull tip and ring pair off the cable with a 149 connector block. He said I could pull about anything else off the cable but tip and ring. Is that true? I thought the #1 and 26 would be the first pair tip and ring. As I recall, there was no 1 and 26 on the 149B but maybe it was labeled differently.
