Default Telephone wiring question

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?




*It would have been easier with a 4 pair jack, but this will work. The
green and black are "Tip" and the red and yellow are "Ring"

On Jack #1
Connect the blue with white stripe to the green.
Connect the blue to red.
Connect the orange with white stripe to black.
Connect the orange to yellow.

On Jack #2
Connect the green with white stripe to the green.
Connect the green to red.
Connect the brown with white stripe to black.
Connect the brown to yellow.
