blows both of them away.

in this benighted country, where caller ID on analog phones only became a reality a very short while ago, the ADSL line in my basement has come in over my ISDN circuit ever since it was installed.

That's what the copper pair that went in the right direction was doing at the time.... so it just HAD to work...
