This is not what I was referring to, and I strongly suspect it was not
what Jon was referring to.  I'm talking about actually locating equipment
at the CO and tying into a fabric at that point.

It's possible to get truly unloaded pairs in some locations, but it's
certainly not universal.  The "contact closure" circuits Pacbell likes to
sell do not have a large dynamic frequency range and tend to have some
nasty glitches that show up on a TDR.  I've been investigating this.
