    all the white cable is doing is taking the line into the alarm panel and sending it back on the yellow and black, this is so that the panel has priority over the phone line if it needs to dial out when the alarm is tripped

    KISS, you're THE expert! I had the same problem as the original poster, and found this thread via Bing. I just tried out your suggestion
    "Connect RED to YELLOW
    and
    Connect GRN to BLACK"
    And my phone which was dead is back again! Thank you thank you thank you
