RE: Leased Line AS/400 access

I had a client once with offices both sides of Oxford Street in London. He
was planning to connect them by twinax strung between the upper storey
windows. As long as there was plenty of clearance underneath for the buses
he couldn't see a problem. It hadn't occurred to him that someone might
object. Even when we persuaded him it was illegal he still thought he could
do it as no-one would notice: a twinax cable complete with the inevitable
bow strung window to window 50 feet above one of the busiest streets in the
world! 

We pointed out that even if he was lucky enough to avoid a manslaughter
charge for garrotting a passenger on an open-top tourist bus, the
authorities would probably still spot his cable when they eventually came to
put up the Christmas lights. Clients like that make the working day so much
fun.

At one job we had 2 buildings on opposite sides of a road.  We had a
conveyor belt running through a bridge over the road.  Ruling was that we
-could- run our cables through the bridgework to the other side; the bridge
was ours, and it made a connection between sides.
