HELP ... phoneline into the house is cut

    Hi,

    While doing some redecorating i had to cut the phone line that lead to my router in another room, I cut the cable and have to figure out how i can get a new one as ive just ordered a new broadband package.

    So just to clarify, the cable comes into the house, into a little white eircom box, and then from there onwards there's just a little stump of a wire, so i need to buy a cable i presume and then the thing that the cable goes into so a phone or isdn line or whatever goes into it. and then i can set up the router again.

    Are these the sort of things i can pick up in say maplins? and if so, what exactly do i need!? i dont know the names of these things!

    Hope you can offer some advice!
    many thanks

    Was this the type of cable you cut?

    It's an RJ11 cable. You can get them in loads of places, including most hardware stores.
