Folks, I was forced to move the house phone up to my office where it plugs into the NBN modem. Sick of this, I bought 10m of RJ12 cable from Jaycar, crawled under the house and put the phone back in it's old spot plugged into my newly strung cable.
No go! The phone base just says "Check Tel Line". Is there some length limit? I believe RJ11 and RJ12 are exchangeable for house phone use. Something else I'm not aware of?! *Greg K*
