I worked a DSL colo space in Montgomery that required our interconnects all be Bell standard compliant, 9 turn wire wrap, with soldered tail.
I was basically one of two people in the company thar could do it consistently. Did 8k pairs with a SW Bell employee watching me as an escort. They did everything they could to keep us from using their copper.
