The Green Crud

It rains, your 'phone gets noisy. Look for the Green Crud. Go to each phone jack, pull the plug and look. When you find the cruddy one replace the cord and the jack.

Never had green crud in the Central Office 'til yesterday. Doug had a light on a KTS line that wouldn't go out. caused by a ground on the A lead. Naturally it was on a line that had many multiples out of several terminals. Traced it into the lounge where a connector likely had coffee spilled on it:

Meanwhile, over in Lomita where I ran the LAN cables, they managed to get the DialTone pushed to tomorrow. Check the order, the computer had assigned an underground cable out to a B-Box, to be cross connected to an aerial pair to a pole mounted terminal in front of the Central Office, for me to place a drop wire back into the C.O.. A lot easier to call the MLAC and have them remove the outside pairs and let me run the lines on the house cable direct from the MDF down to the basement.
