Hi Paul,
It seems to me (IIRC) that the wiring pairs are switched in Germany=2E If=
you have the capability to make you own cable, swap the inner and outer
pairs between one end and the other=2E If memory serves the yellow/blck p=
air
is on the outside, and the red/green pair is on the inside in a normal US
cable=2E Wire it this way for one end, but reverse the pairs on the other=
end (red/green on the outside and yellow/black on the inside)=2E
An easy way to test this is get and old cable, cut it in half, strip the
wire ends, and test the reversal that way=2E
Good luck!
Regards,
Gary

It depends on the phone cabling in your house=2E
Most times, you will only be dealing with the Red and Green wires=2E But, =
if
you reach inside your wall and come up with a bundle of wires, you would u=

the Blue and Blue w/white stripes=2E Do NOT cut these wires as they contin=

to other locations=2E Strip and wrap!=20
