I am looking for a source for a modest quantity (100-150 feet) of one to three pair aerial (preferred) or direct burial telephone cable. Anybody have any idea where I can find this? I'm also looking for NIDs (Network Interface Devices), the little box the telco installs which contains surge protectors. Alternatively just the approrpriate surge protectors for telco lines would be fine. I have been asked to install an on-campus phone system at the facility where we hold our church summer camp. I will be using a small Panasonic KSU (KX-T308) and there will be phones in three separate buildings, as well as in a box by the poll. I don't want these outside (read lightning-prone) wires coming into the buildings without appropriate protective devices.
