    Cat5 cabling interference

    Well, i'm happy to say that i finally got it working, although i don't know why it's working now and wasn't before. I re-stripped the main line coming into the house so it wouldn't get a better connection to each post, unhooked everything, hooked it all back up, and it worked. I haven't had the...

    I just ran a new phone line from the outside box to my room with cat5 cable, and am getting extreme static on the line ( a 1.5 decibal rating). I've hooked up a 1-foot line directly from the box to my phone, and got the same amount of static, so i know it's not interference with household...
