While inspecting a friend's outside phone box today, I discovered that 
his is not like mine (ok, duh, I know).  Mine is a box that is made
by the Telco, and it merely slips off, exposing a set of posts and
wires.  However, when I opened his, which appeared to be a commercial
model, I discovered two posts, but also a modular jack!  We then 
ventured to his neighbor's, where the same set up existed.  Also, the
box had another section labelled "Telco Access" and required a spec
ial key to unscrew it.  Is this common, or is it just common in newer
subdivisions?  I did not even need to use my beige box, I just plugged
right in with a regular phone.  I have not seen this before, but then
I haven't been real observant either.
