The line connections on the socket should be on pins 2 and 6 assuming it is
the old style 6 pin connector and not the very small modular connector that is
common nowdays.

The cord is a different problem.  If it using the standard colour code you
should have 3 pairs blue/white, red/black and green/orange.  Normally
blue/white would be used, but it could be anything.  Not too hard to sort out.
Enable the speaker in the modem and put it online with "ath1". 
Hold one wire
on pin 2 of the phone socket then place the other five wires in turn on pin 6.
When you hear dial tone you are in business.

Have fun and be careful.  50volts can tingle if you have sweaty hands.
