<The outer two wires are not normally connected in residential wiring. They get used for various purposes in commercial phone systems and other specialized applications.> The outer two are often used for a second line. Many two-line phones and accessories are wired this way, including the DAK two-line answering machine and the RatShack two-line switches. It is also very convenient for installing a second line -- if you add wiring, be sure to run all four if you are remotely considering a second line! :::::: Software Productivity Technologies -- Experiment Manager Project :::::: :::::: Jan Steinman N7JDB Box 500, MS 50-383 (w)503/627-5881 :::::: :::::: jans@tekcrl.TEK.COM Beaverton, OR 97077 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::
