subject: Tip & Ring Question

I've heard that reversing the polarity on your phone line can cause 
problems w/high speed connects.  If this is true how can I tell which is 
tip and which is ring and what pins on the RJ-11 are they supposed to 
connect to. I have a volt ohm meter to test with. The house I just moved 
into has a rats nest of phone cables, so I'd line to test for polarity 
at the jack. 
Thanks in advance.
