I saw some ads once about a thingie you snap on a telephone extension cable and it pierces the wire and makes a jack right there. I own such things for electical extensions. I don't remember what they are called. I am trying to find a source on the net - for the phone kind.

Never seen 'em for phone lines. But if you are using a screw terminal cack it wouldn't be hard to do the same thing much more reliably since I would think trying to hit a single strand 22 ga wire but not any other conductors might prove to be a bit problematic.

Four pounds for 10 ?. Methinks he is talking about something for silver satin cable, that would work.

Quite simply, THEY DON'T EXIST.

Phone cable is either twisted-pair -- so you can't reliably hit the internal wires. or 'flat satin' cable with about a 36(!!) ga conductor -- to small to hit reliably.
