- Go to the demarcation point (where your house wires are connected to the
- phone company wires). There will be screw terminals or a jack/plug there.
- Switch the house side of the wiring so that all the house wiring will be
- switched between the two phone lines. Then test the modem behavior again.
- If the bad wires (on the good phone line) are still bad, then the problem is
- in the house wiring (try connecting the modem, and only the modem, at the
- demarc so there is no house wires involved).
