Take a normal 3 pin localtalk cable, chop (well, cut :) it in half, crimp a rj-11 (connect the wires to the yellow - black pair) on it or hardwire it into your star. Warning: make sure that thing is plugged into the boxes at all times, or you may have termination problems. Polarity doesn't seem to be a problem with localtalk.
