Hi James In the UK we use an adapter which is called a "MOD-TAP" or Line Adapter which I used to get from a company called Molex. These are RJ45 plug to BT line socket adapters.
I think you need to look further using the above product types or Manufacturer/Supplier as they need to have American telephone sockets obviously. I seem to remember that the CAT5/6 cabling had to have all wires connected and correct for them to work. In the UK they come in two type - Master (with ringing capacitor) and secondary (without). At least two of the medium sized companies I do maintenance for, use them without problems.

Our maintenance shop is about 1,000 feet from the office and we want to connect the foreman's computer to our server. We know there are open telephone wires available if this can be done. My Google search "ethernet to telephone baluns" isn't coming up with anything specific. James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.
