Where can you buy junction blocks for phone wires? I have to tie in all my
phone wires from my basement renovation.

According to NewsReader :
Did I make a mistake here in using stranded wire?

Yes you did. However, since the total amount of wire involved is
relatively
small and if you take adequate care, you probably won't have problems with
it.

I discovered this myself when wiring a few phone circuits I wanted to do
punch
down connections. They're tricky, and over time the fine strands may
oxidize and disintegrate because of the mechanical abuse they got.

[A friend, a professional networking specialist has a gallery of
pictures of "horrible wiring", including punch down blocks wired
with all sorts of nonsense, including people trying to make stranded
work in punch blocks by _soldering_ it!]

In my case, feeling suitably embarrassed, I soldered solid pigtails
to the ends of the three stranded phone lines... I won't make that
mistake again.
