Let him do it , reason i say this is because i work with phone lines all the
time since im in commercial security and it shouldnt take him more than a
half hour or so to change the wires at the network interface ... unless you
have some knowledge in what to look for and how to find the connections to
change i suggest you just pay the guy .. just may cost you more if you mess
things up within the wiring .

Hi,
I have moved into a house that I believe used to be a sales office or
something that has mutiple phone line capability (according to the
phone company guy). The problem is that there is only one jack is
working right now and it's in the master closet. It's a pain in the
ass...

The phone guy says he can find out how to make other jacks active to
share my phone number (I don't intend to use mutiple lines for now) but
will charge ~$100/hr to do that. It sounds like a simple thing to do
according to him but I don't know how.

Can anyone help me figure this out? I may not have given all the
information to answer this question but I don't know where to begin but
to ask in the news group for expert opinion to begin...

Thanks,
Jae
