The phones have ten or eleven lines. The cable is standard 24 gauge modular wire; 50 leads with connecter. It appears the phones may have been set-up in some sort of star configuration. I suppose that every four, six, or eight conductors were for each of ten or eleven lines. I want to adapt the phones so I can use them in my RJ11 jacks at home using one line. Is there any easy way to do this? If what I said above is correct, how would I be able to find the four right wires to attach a RJ11 connecter to so I can plug it in? Would that be to hard to do? Could it even be done at all?
