I was getting ready to run some wires for the new bedrooms in my basement and went outside to locate the Network Interface Device to see where to hook up the phone lines. Wasn't there. Looked all over and only found a small terminal in my basement that was made before I was born. I'm using Vonage hooked up to my computer now but wanted to have the house wired for regular phone service. What do I put between the phone company and my phone system? I wouldn't just pigtail all the phone lines in my house together and then tie it into the phone company?
I use vonage too. Its wired into the line in the basement. I hooked it up to the main set of phone lines and it runs all the phones in the house. Which are cordless so its not much of a load.
The box on the outside is installed by the phone company but I don't know if they will install it if you are not ordering service. If you order DSL they will install a good one :)
Just tie your vonage line into the central line in the basement and disconnect that line from the one coming in from outside. easiest way is to just backfeed it into any local phone outlet (once you disconnect the outside feed)
I disconnected mine on the inside and in the box outside.
