Galen,

   I know there's more than one pair, but I have no record of just how many
there are. One pair's for the business line (with ADSL), another for the
residence line. Don't know if there are more.

   Ah, now I understand. The DSL will remain on the dry-pair and will be
dropped from the published number pair. Sure, that'll work. Probably need to
re-wire the DSL outlet in the wall, though. I'll learn more Friday when
Dennis is here. Make use of my Wire Fox tone generator/tracer. :-)

Thanks,
