First off, don't do anything with the wires connected to the alarm's
terminal strip.  From your post, those already appear to run to the
protector (what you call the interface).  If you only have one room
connected, you should be able to identify the terminals (tip and ring)
on the interface.  The red wire is hooked to "ring".  The green wire is
hooked to "tip".  You should have four wires in the interface that go to
the alarm panel.  Red, Green, Yellow, and Black.  Remove the green phone
wire from the terminal on the interface and connect it to the black wire
from the alarm panel.  Remove the red wire from the terminal on the
interface and connect it to  the yellow wire from the alarm panel.
Connect the red wire from the alarm panel to the terminal where the red
wire to the working phone was connected on the interface.  Connect the
gree wire from the alarm panel to the terminal where the gree wire to
the working phone was connected on the interface.  You should now have
dial tone on your one working phone.  The panel will now be able to
communicate as well (although your working phone will go "dead" when it
does).

To do all this properly it doesn't hurt to be a rocket scientist.  :-)
