Nope, I didn't know I would be starting a debate [Linked Image from sundance-communications.com]. On another board, a huge debate started about 66 vs. 110 and it got ugly.
Anyway, when I did the install I checked each pair as I cross connected the phone line. (just one phone line in this house) and got dialtone fine. Once I put bridge clips on to bridge between the station pairs and the line cross-connects I got nothing on the station pairs at the block or at the jacks. Then when I removed the bridge clips I didn't get dialtone at the line cross-connects either. DT was fine at the jack I put on the end of the cable from the NID (for the line)
