That was one of the things we needed. We could patch between the BT
and RJ45 sockets, but that's a little 'hard wired' for my tastes. We
may make up a custom patch lead to connect them.

The idea of wiring some patch panel sockets in parallel could be a
solution to distributing the phone. It's a shame that my Dad has a 12
way patch panel and will need 10 of them as that only leaves 2. He
doesn't really want to get into having lots of equipment in the meter
cupboard.

Thanks for the hints
