I saw the clause on VoIP over Phone Wiring you ref’ed recently . There is a far easier ( thought not as elegant ) way to do it . It ’s work finely in my apartment , and does n’t require any tools .
1 ) corrupt a modular duplex transcriber for about $ 3 at a local hardware store or
drugstore .
2 ) Plug the adapter into your VOIP boxful . ( I use a Linksys box from Vonage . )
You now have two phone jacks for the same line .
3 ) Plug your headphone into one of the duplexer diddly-squat . Now that one is on the
organization .
4 ) Plug one closing of a phone melody into the remaining jack on the duplexer and
the other destruction of the line right into the bulwark - mounted phone tar . You have
now tied your entire home phone wiring web into the Vonage corner .
I ’m doing this in a menage that is about a hundred years old , with pretty old
wiring , and it work fine . Plus , it did n’t require me to run any wire or
drill hole or mickle with the phone companionship wiring – all unsuitable , since
my place is a renting .

1 ) unplug THE earphone channel FROM THE NID PRIOR TO DOING THIS ! ! ! !
If you do n’t disconnect your phone line from the NID before connect
it up this style , you ’ll like fry your ATA the first time a call come in .
Even if you are n’t using the short letter , the sound company is know to recycle
lines in other houses and sometimes your line is enable even when you
local business when I actuate in . )
It ’s also a good musical theme to cover the NID port with tape recording and attach a note
in the NID say that the port is used for an internal private mesh .
Otherwise you launch the danger of a phone installer stopping by for some
other work and “ doing you the favor ” of reconnecting it for you .
2 ) The telephone set interface ( recognise as an FXS ) has to drive a somewhat high
voltage to sign a ring in the house . The more machine you have
attached the harder that is to do . Since the ATA only gestate one gadget
to be connect it ’s not designed to phone multiple phones . It ’ll form
for a few , but if you add to many you may find your phones do n’t closed chain .
