  The problem is not the interstate link. In fact, David Drummond in
Queensland is better than most local levels. It's the little bit from
the exchange to the hole in thw footpath, and the wire up to Paul on
the 67th floor (bloody yuppie dink).

  Yair... I'm big on theory but I don't have any real knowledge of the
telpephone system.
