Re: Cox ARRIS Touchstone

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yah..that's what I'm hoping we can use spare pairs to restore the backfeed
to the old SNI where our seizure line is...OR seize it above in the attic
where they are plugged in - problem there would be if the client moves the
Touchstone box to another telco jack.

Sucks.
