The stranded wire works fine and the punch down block cuts the insulation of the thicker wire just fine. You can also buy blocks with a 50 pin connector prewired on them. Then you buy cables which split from a 50 pin connector into six DB25 connectors. Add an extension cord of the right length and you don't have to do any complicated wiring between the computer and the punch down blocks. I've gotten my stuff from LANplex and am extemely happy with both the products and the services. They have some offices on the East coast. The number of the local office is (714)680-8686. They should be able to get you in touch with someone closer to you. Good luck, -- -- Art Zemon FileNet Corporation Costa Mesa, California ...! {decvax, ihnp4, ucbvax} !trwrb!felix!zemon
