Having trouble installing or wiring your home for VoIP phone service? Jake Ludington has a great article that will walk you through the process.
“I currently live in an 80-year-old house. The phone wiring has been updated, but the routing of the wiring is a jumble of three different incoming lines routed to different sections of the house.This didn’t matter to me when I moved in because we don’t have a landline phone. In newer houses, this won’t be a problem because all phone wiring should terminate at a central location.
Most home phone wiring is made up of two pairs of wires: red/green and yellow/black. In most cases, the primary line you’ll want to connect to route your VoIP service throughout the house is the red/green pair. If the house was wired using category 5 cabling, green might be replaced with white-with-blue-stripe wires and red with blue-with-white-stripes. The yellow and black wiring pair will not be needed.”

RSSI think that you can use any jack in your house to connect the VoIP adapter. They are all connected at the NID "Network Interface Device" anyway. A friend forwarded me this link, http://www.voipwired.com/info/info_install_wiring.... . I learned some crucial stuff about VoIP, particularly about installation.
