    john, you only need two cables for this to work.

    They are usually the inside pair, but you can test them by plugging in a phone and dropping off cables until you loose the signal etc, ttial and error,. will take you about 3 mins

    thanks for the reply, i was trying to figure out if the line was dead becuase it was working up until yesterday and i disconnected the two wires but couldnt remember if the orange or blue went to 4 or 3 (so tried both anyway). i ran Eircom and they confirmed it was a line fault , not sure how they confirm it.

    AFIK, they do nightly testing on all lines.

    Normally its the blues. If you measure the voltage across the pair it should be around 50v DC
