DS>I've heard that reversing the polarity on your phone line can cause 
DS>problems w/high speed connects.  If this is true how can I tell which i
DS>tip and which is ring and what pins on the RJ-11 are they supposed to 
DS>connect to. I have a volt ohm meter to test with. The house I just move
DS>into has a rats nest of phone cables, so I'd line to test for polarity 
DS>at the jack. 
Radio Shack has a $5 meter that will tell you this.
