Disclaimer: None of this is written by AI, I’m still a real person writing my own blog like its 1999 I finally figured out how to do Gigabit Ethernet over my existing phone wires. Powerline adapter…
People used to utilize the extra phone wiring in homes and businesses for LocalTalk networking. There are usually two wires for the primary phone line, and another pair for a second phone line. Most people didn’t have a second line, so they were perfect wiring for Farallon phonenet adapters.
Iirc you should check for continuity current depending on where you live. There could be a minimal amount of power still going through those lines. This could be very outdated info as well since i haven’t done residential contacting in a long time.
