anyway to route 3 c.o lines to 3 rooms, with 3 jacks appearing in each of the rooms. Each jack will have all 3 numbers appearing in it. I would guess a non- split 66 block at the feed as well as a 66 block at each room...but I'm sure there is a better way . any help would be greatly appreciated.. thank you in advance

Iyou have access to a place where you can run all the cables too, put the block there.
Run a cat 5 cable to each location. Punch them down to the block. Also run a cat 5 cable to your network interface and punch that down on the block. Cross connect your lines on the block. (kind of hard to explain, if you give me your email I can send you a drawing)
Get some 3 port wallplates and some USOC 6 pin keystone jacks (I prefer Leviton). Punch down all three pairs to each jack. I actually think you should do one pair to a jack, though.
So...
3 rooms, 3 jacks each, 3 lines on each jack. Is that right?

OK so you have 3 co lines, three jacks in each room, each one should have all three lines? Sounds like some kind of a sales office, and I am going to assume you are using 3 line phones at each location?
If this is a limited use application (not permanent) I would loop a 4 pair from between the three jacks in each room, and from the last jack head back to your interface/66 block. That would leave you with 3 - 4 pairs to punch on the 66 block, and room to add one more to go to the interface bringing your dial tone in.
If this is a permanent wiring solution, I would home run a 4 pair from each jack to the 66 block. You would then punch down all the 4 pairs, and punch jumpers down that 'loop' all the white/blue pairs together, then loop all the w/o, etc.
I guess it depends on the application you have and the equipment that will be used.
Good Luck!
