Default Telephone wiring question

wrote:
Hello All:

ATT advised me to go to cat 5 with my telephone wiring to improve DSL
connectivity.

I've got a new dual phone receptacle to accommodate the DSL modem and
a phone simultaneously.

Here is what I got:

I looked up online at various sites as to how to wire, but cannot
figure out the receptacle end.

Her is what the back of my receptacle looks like:

How do I connect the cat 5 wires to this receptacle?

Thanks,

P.S.: I found this at the Ace H/W site but it sis not make sense.

Ask someone else at ATT. Inlines to your house from the pole are
telephone wire so how is cat five going to help. Its like putting a
larger pipe after a smaller pipe. The "splitter" mentioned elsewhere is
a split filter. One side goes to modem and other to phone. Single
filters are needed for all other phone lines.
