Tim, I thought you would get a lick out of this one. It's a reply I received on the Telecom Forum on Compuserve, in a thread titled: "Frogging Pairs."

You've heard of redlining in the real estate and mortgage context? How about phonelining?

Regards, Frank Coluccio

==============================

Frank,

>>Whereabouts was that? Kingsbridge Road?<<

I was born in daBronx but moved to CT when I was six years old, and went to college in PA, and then went back to daBronx.

In 1970, I had a phone installed on a kitchen wall in my apartment on Anthony Avenue (just below Burnside Ave.) The installer started to staple wire right up a wall in the middle of the room. I was shocked, and asked him why he wasn't snaking the wire thru the wall.

He said that NYTel only required concealed wiring north of Kingsbridge Road.

After he left, _I_ snaked the wire.

[Regards]
