I see that there is a mainboard with 10 terminals that leads to the phone
jacks throughout the house, nine of which are in use, so I would like to tap
into the 10th set of terminals. *My question is how do I attach the phone

which the insulation is pierced and held in place.

Check the 10th socket is connected to all the others. Use the correct
wire and a wire insertion tool (you may find it at radio shack for
wiring wall ethernet sockets if not for telephones). It should work
unless you have passed the ringer equivalence number for your domestic
installation (the wires to the house will not support an infinite
number of live outlets). Better yet get a wireless phone with multiple
handsets?
