certain way where you can determine what area
it serves by its number (such as in my area...heh heh); in any case, it's up
to you to figure out your area's layout).  Anyway, the cable-pair number is
usually written in a format such as 02-1495, where 02 is the cable and 1495 is
the pair (incidentally, since this is the CO Feeder cable pair that is connect-
ed to the MDF, it is the one that will be listed in COSMOS).

F1 Access Points
----------------

        Although the F1 is run underground, there is really not a standard
access point down there where a certain pair in a cable can be singled out
and accessed (as will be explained next).  There is, however, a point above
ground where all the pairs in the F1 can be accessed -- this point is known
as the Serving Area Interface (SAI), and it will be detailed later.  In LMOS
or other assignment records, the address of the SAI will be listed as the
TErminal Address (TEA) for the F1 cable handling a certain pair in question;
therefore, it
