one wireless kit.  Keeping the spare PC interface in case of
failure.  So, now I'm moving things around to get a small 'study/HA
area', as I'm limited on # of rooms.

Talked to BT but they wanted a huge amount to move the box.  So I had
spare cable they left at install, enough to extend from te HH box to
the new site.  I've laid the cable, it seems to have 8 inner cores.
What I'd like t  do is split those out so I can extend both analog
lines.  Where can I get the bits t  do this/what do I need.  I've got
two sockets that I've never used so they can go on far end but guess
I'm stuck at this point, unless somebody can help me out with advice.

IIRC, there are connections supplied in the HH box to take the
analogue lines to where you want them. Mine just run from the
connector at the master socket. Not sure about the connections in the
HH box since BT generally want you to let them do it. Keith can
probably fill you in on this though.

The easy way is obviously just to use a standard extension cable from
the analogue sockets to the new phone position.

I thought phone cable was 6 core (2 unused except for a
"standard"
second line when they do get used) so not sure what the additional
two cores are. Again, Keith is the font of all knowledge on all
things BT.

HTH.

Mark.
