ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade Voice - Data - Video Discussion DSL tester?

I ran into the same situation again today. DSL with no POTS. Is this common everywhere?

I found a bad IDC punch down on the block. Looked like it was fine, but wasn’t making very good contact through the insulation. It took a few minutes to find with no POTS reference to work with. A toner sometimes can only get you so close.
