$The first answer would be very expensive and unprofitable.

$telecommunications to let me rewire the jacks (the 4 wire had been

$^Mark,
$^You actually have three wires available.

WARNING *****

This solution while sounding good will give you nothing but grief!

This is a very noisy, both in terms of signal quality and RF emissions,
answer to your problem.

You said that you have 4 wires available... use them.  You will need a
good ground return for both TX and RX signals.  Twisted pair wires also
offer common mode noise rejection and RF emissions reduction.

If you are still not convinced then I suggest that you invest in RS-232
transceivers... you'll need them.  To really solve this with this type of
circuit you will need opto-isolators.
