Probably crap cable or connector. Here I grabbed one pair out of the 4 pair cable I run between floors, and then spliced that back into the old telephone line. Have you got a cable tester ?

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
