Re: Phone wire central connection

Cam,
I wasn't aware of "bridge
clips".  Being unfamiliar with the punch down blocks, my impression was
of a series of parallel strips with multiple wire punch down points on
each strip.  I obviously need to get better informed as to exactly what
they are, and can do, before making a decision.

Thanks
Dennis
