    Hooking up new phone line to main phone box
    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.
