we just bought this house and want to put a phone in the
kitchen..unfortunatly, the wires are bare....now we bought the jack and
went to install it, and found that there are only three wires coming out
of the hole, red, green and yellow..no black,,,
how can we install this new jack to an old line that has only the three
colored wires?

My house (built about 1974) has 3 wires, red/green/yellow. It was
probably just what wire the builder had. Unless you're on a party
line, phones just need red and green (these connect to the middle 2
wires in the jack).
