	I quote from the Bell leaflet

	"Effective February 1, 1996 all residential and single line 
customers will have the benefit of choosing who install or repairs their 
telephone wiring and jacks"

	I wonder if they have a special employee who does translation for 
these things.

	Bell guy:  We need a way to tell the steenking customers that 
from now on it will cost them about $90 for new jack installation, or 
they can hire someone else to do it
	Translator: "All customers will have the benefit...."

	<puke>

	Anyhoo.

	I went to a Bell place and picked up the little Do-It-Yourself 
guide.  It says helpful thing like

	"If you are experiencing a condition fo NO DIALTONE, the first 
thing you must do is determine whether or not you have a working 
telephone set"
	
	Ok, seriously now.
	I wouldn't bother hiring anyone do do it, I would do it myself.  
Just go down to the hardware store and pick up a jack and wire and 
connect it to your phone box in the basement and run it ot your jack and 
voila.  The only thing is that you might have to find someone with a 
staple gun, one of those big ones that are soo fun to play with.  
	If you're in an appartment Bell is still responsible for getting 
the lines to your main phone jack.  (If you want more though you have to 
wire it yourself)

	Hey, maybe we could have a wiring party at your place!
