phone Punch panel question and archbang linux

[xmorg]

Hey. A client wants to have a phone line upstairs, and there is a line already there but it never has worked. I double checked the wires on the punch panel and re-punched anything that looked like it wasnt connecting. and the phone is still completely dead. I got a tuner and verified that I was looking at the right wire, haha. I also tried punching that wire into another place on the panel and no luck. I really dont want to have to pull the cable, its dark and scary up there! any ideas? am i missing something simple?

On another note, why is archbang linux so fast??? that sucker boots in like 5 seconds on my netbook, no joke. I'm tempted to install on my main but i like freebsd.

xmorg, most members of this site take advantage of the archives for searching previously discussed topics. To facilitate this practice, we ask members to restrict threads to a single subject (& it is covered in the forum rules...). Doing so simplifies finding old information.

Keeping threads on a single subject also helps continuity & understanding. Nothing is more confusing than a thread which meanders from one topic to another -- especially when the subjects aren't related.

As such, I ask all respondents to this thread to limit their comments to xmorg's first question on phone lines. Any comment made on ArchBang Linux will be moved to a new thread in the correct category. xmorg, you might consider starting a new thread yourself.
