Telephone Line Tester (43-104). It has two spiffy LED's on it labelled "Line 1" and "2" and the key says green means Correct Wiring, red means Reverse Polarity and off means Not Operational. I had to replace a phone jack near my computer recently. Their web site says it goes for $5.99 and has a picture. Good luck, Chris
