Phone wires are color coded (two per phone line, four in phone wire). Just look at the nearest jack to where you want to add the two, jump off it, as wired, from jack to jack. Should be fine. Good Luck!

hello gw,
the "OLD" guy...lol told u how to do it but im going to explain it a bit more clearly 4 u.
get your self some phone cabel it will have 4 wires in it green, red, yellow,black.
the red and green r line 1 and yellow and black line 2. all u will need to do is open up an existing jack neer location of new jack and tap off this going color to color. now ther is another way u can do this as well locate phone companys terminal block(place where phone companys line comes in and branches out)and tap off of this going color to color and run to new jack and again go color to color.
