Use Cat 3 cable. It a two line cable. Use the black and red wires for
your hookup. Cat 3 is what was used for ethernet before they went
to Cat 5 for higher speed ethernet.
Cat 3 can handle 2 phones but is commonly used for 1.
Cat 5 is a 4 phone cable and the RJ45 ends are also used for
4 line systems.
