Depending on what kind of dialtone you have, perhaps you need more
electrical pressure to get it up to the third floor?

Are jacks rated for their altitude?  Do you need a RJ55 or RJ65?

Obviously, two jacks are needed when you have a daughter.

We have cat2 running throughout our house at times.  Cat1 is too old, and
just hisses at cat2.

Sorry - too much solder fumes...
