Search for "whole house wiring."

There are countless threads about it. The key point is that you must isolate the wires that go from the jack you plug your modem in, to the outside connection of your phone company.

I recommend getting help from a knowledgeable friend, if you are completely unfamiliar with phone wiring. Sometimes, depending on the age of your house, or the competency of prior residents, the wiring can be a "rat's nest."

You don't want to inadvertently connect your MJ to the live wires from your phone company.
