I need to wire a DSL filter with a modular jack and plug into a phone
line without a modular jack/plug. I figured I'd cut the plug off the
DSL filter and wire those into the phone line. However, the colors of
the wires in the DSL filter are black, red, green, and yellow and I
think the phone line is in pairs with different colors.
How should this be wired in to the phone line?
Is there a better way to do it? (I went by Radio Shack and they
didn't have any modular jacks and plugs designed to be wired in this
way.)

Does the phone line end in the old 4 prong outlet?
Yes? Buy a converter.
No Google how phone lines work.
Most old lines only use two wires for signals. Other two are not used
or are for power to the lights on old phones.

No old 4-prong. It is a new phone but it is hard-wired in. If I know
which pair of wires is used, should they go through the red and black
wires of the filter, or some other pair?

As per the other replies.....
telephone color coding for the last 40+ years
red & green .......line 1
black & yellow ......line 2
my last wired phine work ~2005 polarity did matter, so if you try
red & green one way and oyur phone doenst work; swap them
sounds to me like the DSL filter is set up to service two lines
cheers

Polarity only matters for Touch Tone dialing. If your phone is a rotary
either way is fine.
