Although there are 6 wires in the machine lead, only 4 of them are used, now
one would have thought that it was just a case of using the 4 wires in my
lead and connecting to the centre 4 wires of the machine lead. WRONG !

In fact you will probably find only two of them are used...

The most common layour seems to be the two central pins on the RJ11
connected to the two either side of the central pins (i.e. pins 2 and 5,
where often 1 and 6 are not fitted) on the BT plug.
