ISP Information:
A processor that can run a 64-bit OS. The DEC Alpha is 64-bit, and so are Intel's Itanium and AMD's Opteron and Athlon 64 processors. The 386, 486, and Pentium and Pentium II/III/4 are all 32-bit processors, even though the Pentium and newer chips have 64-bit memory buses.
ISP Glossary:
64-bit processor - Anyway what I'd like to find is a dual surface mount phone jack -- by that I mean a single unit that contains two jacks that can be wired individually, for example the uppermost one for lines 1 and 2, and the lowermost one for lines 3 and 4. It's a must that the jacks have screw terminals, or failing that, the kind of terminals where you can do a satisfactory job of pushing down the wire by using two screwdrivers.You can get surface mount dual Keystone boxes and RJ12 jacks that snapinto them. See, for example, http://www.9thtee.com/networking.htmThe jacks come in multiple colors, so you can wire it up so that lines1 and 2 are in the blue jack and 3 and 4 are in the green one,avoiding confusion down the road. And while on the subject -- let's say that at the point where the four lines come in, I want to break them out and distribute them to half a dozen jacks, each home run back to the common entrance point. Is there an inexpensive way to do this that uses SCREW TERMINALSSure. Go to your local Radio Shack and get some screw terminalblocks, and screw your wires into them.John R.
