As long as all the phone lines are interconnected at the main telephone
split, plugging in the phone line from the modem to any phone connection
should power all phones in the house. It works here, and running the coax
outside is a better option than running Cat5 outside unprotected. Perhaps
the cable company will provide you with a tap outside and run the cable for
you. That's better than a simple splitter.
All TW did when I went to digital phone was call Verizon to move over my
phone number and then disconnect the Verizon line from the phone block
outside. They then changed the cablemodem and plugged the line from it
into the nearest phone plug in the wall, provisioned the modem and all was
good to go.
This is what we did -- we're using Vonage and ditched Verizon.. I went out
and disconnected the Verizon lines at the box on the side of the house. Once
you do that you can connect your "phone box" that plugs into the ethernet
drop into ANY phone plug in the entire house and it will work fine. We've
been doing that for the past 3.5 years without problem.. My cable connection
is in our attic currently so I've got a few network items sitting up there
and the rest strewn throughout the house.
