This thread has got me thinking of a test I want to try. I would like to make a CAT5 cable to plug into the NID and run it directly to my DSL modem, a distance of about 20'. Obviously, I need RJ11 connectors on both sides. Would this work? If so what 4 wires of the CAT5 cable would I use with the RJ11s; or is there some kind of RJ45 to RJ11 converter that I could use for this?
