I have a second phone line to install that only needs to run to one room. There is already an unused coaxial cable from a previous installation by a cable TV company connecting the area of the junction box to that room. The incoming phone line is only a two-wire connection. Would the impedance/capacitance/inductive load of the coax be compatible with a telephone connection? I'm trying to save the trouble of installing additional premises wiring in a house that we rent. Making adapters to allow modular connectors to interface with the coax is no problem for me so long as the characteristics of the line would allow it. TIA, - Mark Mark Henigan --
