Coming from the street underground to my house,the color code to the block is white/blue stripe,blue,white,orange & a thick black cable to the center nut.What is line one + and - ? Also,it seems like my line one from inside the house is connected:green to white/blue stripe & black to blue,is this correct? I have yellow & red,from inside the house available for Sprint to hook up for the DSL data line,is this correct? I think I may be CROSSED UP with all this somewhere and I live in Las Vegas with Sprint as our telephone company.PLEASE help!!!!!

hello ron,
generly red and green r line 1, black and yellow r line 2 , white/blue and blue/white line 1, white/orange and orange/white line 2.
red, black, white/blue, white/orange r +, green, yellow, blue/white, orange/white r -.
now this does not allways hold true, as long as the same colored wires that r connected to interfase block r connected to the jack in the proper order it will work. if your phone is working properly then id say you r ok. what you can do is open up a jack and look at what colored wire is attached to what screw, in the jack line 1 will b as stated above.

The previous post is right. Though you might want to look in your phone box where their wires are connected. The should be a test jack with the inside wire colors attached. If so then you should be able to connect the house wiring to match color to color where that test jack is connected.
Good Luck
