RE: Connecting BT lines into home cat5 network

[Keith Doxey <keith.doxey@xxxxxxx>]

You cant attach to them but for analogue 1 there are connections on the
back
of the NTE8 where the incoming line enters the building (or wherever they
ran the HH cable to)

For Analogue 2 you will need a telephone cord.
If you get one with spade terminals the colours for the BT plug are

2	Red
3	Blue
4	Green
5	White

BTW: Did you buy that new car yet?
If not, check this site out.
They're called CarsDirect.com and it's a pretty sweet way to buy a car.
