Hi Pete,
Having read the other replys, to which I agree. One way of finding out
for certain, would be to remove the face plate and have a look at the
wires. Then if you have a spare phone you could check for "Dial Tone"
between the pairs. Just watch out for someone calling, the ringing
voltage can bite you. ;-)
I would suspect that there are six wires or posibly eight in there. A
bit like cat 5. However you can get three lines out of four wires.
One of them will be a common connection in this case.
