Title: Re: [ukha_d] Wiring idea

Graham,

   Have you duplicated (extended) the 2 Cat5 connectors on
your ISDN2 BT box ? - you could of course use them directly & save two
if it is situated in an accessible place. 

   Plus I suspect you don't really need two outlets - each
connector has both A+B channels in it so that will save you one. You could
divide them with a splitter if you need to have two different pieces of kit
online at once on each channel. A 128K TA will pick up both lines on one
cable. Have you use one of the special 'terminted' sockets - usually blue
in faceplate colour ? Effectively your sockets are all in parallel so if
you have a separate cable to each one would become spare. ie You only need
one cable from the BT box to your outlets - the other socket is
identical.
