No you do not need any special box. You just wire it that way. You can use any standard punch-down block. Of course there will be folks who will sell you anything. A box with 3 sets of terminal pairs all wired together and a label that says "Splitter." I'll make you one for $100. Sure I will. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
