I am hooking up a new phone jack into the "main phone line box" in my basement... need help... I will try to explain as clearly as possible... hope not to confuse everyone.

General info that may be useful in answering my question: I currently have cabletelevision phone service modem etc... I have an alarm system... the reason why I put this new line is because I am relocating me computer, phone modem etc to another part of the house and the cable company does not set up the new jacks so either I have to do it or pay for someone. I have 2 phone numbers one for fax... each number seems to be coming from the modem with a different exit point from modem... modem has one phone line coming in to it from another jack at another part of house.

BAsement::::::I have 3 current jacks in the house so therfore I seem to have 3 phone lines pigtailed together and 1 line I believe is the alsrm system..

I have 4 pigtails at main box:

1st pig tail:2 white with blue stripes from 2 phone lines
1 green from alarm

2nd pigtail2 blue lines from the same 2 phone lines listed in 1st pigtail
1 red line from alarm

3rd pigtail
Yellow from alarm
Red from a third phone wire separate fron pigtail 1 and 2(above)

4th pigtailblack from alarm
Green from third phone line from 3rd pigtail


Where should I tie in the new line?...my new phone line has Blue and white with blue line configuration

Thank you... sorry about details but usually I'm not detailed enough.
