Hi silicon warrior,

I've seen commercial buildings with multiple generations of telco gear layered on top of the previous iteration. I've just read Frank's reply and have nothing to add except that it is extremely doubtful to me that anything of current value would be abandoned by the ILEC.

Almost invariably, the practice of Ma Bell over the decades has been to abandon old gear in customer's premises in situ and save the cost of demolition and scrapping. The correct answer from the accountant's perspective, yet pretty sloppy from that of the engineer. :)
