Have your taken a look at one of the many web sites about telephone wiring?

Yes, actually I had looked at and printed out all three of those websites
before posting here. The info at those sites was mostly over my head,
beyond my wiring needs, did not answer some real basics that I asked here,
but I did glean some useful info, mostly about the need for just red and
green, that is a 2-wire system is all I need for my simply home phones.
