My house is wired with three-pair twisted pair wire.  Two are for
voice, and the third is for a Trailblazer.  I NEVER hear the
Trailblazer in either of the voice lines.  One of my phones is an old
2515BM (two-line WE, mechanical hold).  I made a very long modular
cord for it (over 30 feet).  There is appearant crosstalk now between
the two voice lines where there was none before.  The modular cord is
not twisted pair and appears to be a contributing factor.
