   Great.   But I would need someone to install an RJnn jack (or maybe even   
   some box or other?) and someone to deliver a telephone, right.  I can   
   mail him a telephone, but I can't install the jack from here.   The   
   phone jack is something that people normally do themselves when it's   
   their own home, right?
