I've modified several phones with a simple switch to select which line to use. I'm having problems with an AT&T phone though. The modular receptacle on the phone itself only has contacts for two wires. In the past I have been able to use two pieces of fairly stiff wire as substitutes, but the contortions needed to mount this phone on the wall (it's a desk/wall mount) bend the wires flat in the receptacle so they loose contact with the modular plug. Is there any company that markets these contacts seperately? As a side note, New York Telephone provides a hunt group at no charge, all I had to do was ask. Thanks. Jeff jch@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu
