Thats what I thought! The wire from the outside world is 2 core, so
when I re-wired the phones in my house, I used 2&5. It worked great
until a few days later my wife told me the phones upstairs wern't
ringing. Only the phone plugged into the master socket. After a bit
of playing around I found that 3 on all the sockets needed to be
connected together to make extensions ring. I belive it's got something
to do with the ring capaciter in the M/S.
Anybody know more?
