First, a question: I recently lost (they were destroyed, actually) a set
of various telecom-oriented tools.  I haven't been able to replace two of
them from any regular hardware supplier that I sould find and there's quite
probably someone out there who could tell me where I could order them.
The first is that cute little tool used for punching down wires on punch-down
blocks.  (a puncher-down?)  The second has a similar purpose except it's
used on the older boards on which screw terminals are used.  (A standard
boltdriver type thing could be used here but the telco-provided model was
much more useful in this particular environment.)

Oh, it's still alive and well, subscriptions are $10 or $12 a year from
their offices out in Long Island somewhere.  Cover prices on individual
issues are $3.

[Moderator's Note: 2600 Magazine also has a netmail address, 2600@something,
but I can't locate it right now. In the next issue of the Digest (#282),
a tour de force by John Covert, responding to questions about the 'thousands
of non-dialable points' message; and other comments on non-dialable places.
Issue 282 will be released about 1:00 AM, once this issue has gotten cleared
out of the list channel.  PT]
