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.

Thanks for this.
Jack 1 and Jack 2 are connected with wires running between the
terminals. So green on Jack 1 and 2 are the same....
Does this make any difference in what you wrote? Maybe I leave the
green and brown out of the equation?
Thanks!
*Right. Just don't use the extra pairs. Coil them up and push them into
the wall.
