Need to rewire telephone lines
The issue is that we have 4 lines and 3 of them are being used and 1 is not. We have two devices that are sharing one line and we need to separate them. Can someone help please?

How much do you know about wiring? Do you know enough to run the unused line to one of the devices if necessary?

I'm all for doing it yourself... I say take a look at each of the 4 lines, disconnect each of them and make note of which system goes offline, and then mark the line that didn't shut off anything - this is you're unused line. One of the disconnects will have taken two devices offline, so just extend the unused line to one of those devices and hook everything back up. Pretty simple actually, if you feel competent doing it you'll probably save yourself or your company a few hundred.
We need an overview of the four lines:
Example:
Line 1 >>> master bedroom
Line2 >>>daughter's room ( I don't recommend it, LOL)
Line 3 >>Grandma's room
Line 4 >>Mother in law (time to move out, LOL)
We also need to know if any of these lines use DSL.
One other thing, Are you open to alternatives. You probably don't nee that many lines unless you have tenants.
