Lines: 11 Xref: watmath comp.periphs:111 comp.terminals:119 comp.dcom.lans:120 At Ohio State, we have been using punchdown blocks for quite a while. They seem to work just fine, but we use only single conductor (3 conductor telephone wire) to wire and cross connect. You might try striping about 1/4 inch and tinning it, then punching in the tinned part. (or, how to make stranded into single conductor wire). -- Paul Placeway Ohio State CIS dept. paul@ohio-state.ARPA cbosgd!osu-eddie!paul
