Hi Tony
In my interface box, the yellow and black leads which go inside the house were not connected to anything; they were just dangling free. This is not surprising, though; for many years now, Ma Bell has only used two wires for POTS (plain old telephone service); green (tip) and red (ring).
The Christmas light string might be worth trying...IF you can be sure that no-one plugs the string into 120 VAC when you're not looking!!!
