#156561 - US telephones (POTS, not cable)
The former owner of my house has wired the telephone outlets like a drunken sailor, with cable splices all over so I intend to rewire the worst of it this weekend. He had no regard for colors or anything.

What is the easiest way to identify the live pair in a 4 connector wire? call from a cellphone and identify the two that makes you jump would be one way :) but there must be a better one
