Awesome. It sounds like I made a good choice. Since the drops terminate on one block and the KSU on the other, I made the change on the KSU block using the cross connects. They're all in a row, and I've placed a placard noting the reversal. If anyone comes behind me and doesn't see it, maybe they're in the wrong profession.

You guys rock. I'm really enjoying telco work. I don't think a lot of IT guys appreciate the ground work laid by telco workers. Every time I touch something new in telco a lightbulb goes off in my head as to why something is done a specific way in IT.

Hey, B-Land, now ya got it. The address of a computer is seven digits -- a telephone number. (IBM 8086 Home was 7777777.) Data networks are just voice ckts using data. (Oversimplified but basics first). Who invented the transistor? And it was used for what? Voice! Remember, AL Gore invented the internet over the telephone!(HAR HAR).

Telephone is treated like a poor older relative. Sonny boy, if it weren't for the old time telephone there would be NO computers. When you dial a telephone you are programming a computer --- for a voice call. In the old days it was mechanical. Today it is a computer.

Welcome aboard and hope you have a good stay.

Wasn't the transistor invented by Bell Labs by a young engineer named Gore? I think he developed it so he could invent the computer and later, the Internet.
