Check a place like Radio Shack--they might give you an old disposable
punch-down tool.

For terminal jacks needing punchdown, solid wire works. Stranded does not. I
found this out the hard way, on a repair call.

Wow, all I can say is THANK YOU to everyone! I never thought I'd get this
many responses. I will see if I can find a punchdown tool, but maybe I'll
try using the two sets of pliers first. I only have two wires to seat and
punchdown tools are quite expensive. What I'm doing is setting up a phone
jack in my closet in order to move my DSL modem and router into the closet,
out of site from everyone. I've gotten enough "contact" from two wires to
hear a dialtone, but the wires were not seated very well and fell out
quickly, but at least I know the slot is active. I just need to get the
wires in the slots.

Thanks again for all the great posts!

Steve
