      17.1  General. Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to

            (b)   to any other pipeline in order to obtain access to

                  quantities of Gas are being transported by such pipeline
                  for the account of a Customer.
   
            Seller shall not be required to respond to any OFO that it
