Me too - I remember when my Dad got the nasty call from AT&T because he =
plugged in an unauthorized phone in the house - I guess they could tell =
from the additional resistance on the line. But the phone system worked =
pretty reliably back then - can=92t say the same about today=92s misc =

Anyway, back to the topic=85 this looks like most telecom debates: =
people latch onto one side or the other, the fight is in the context =
(problem statement and the definitions) but underneath it all there are =
actually reasonable perspectives on each side.
