I want to connect the phone/ADSL splitter in my house to a desktop computer by a long (10 metres) telephone wire. This has to go out of the house and back again, so I have to drill 2 holes in window-frames.
I'd like to keep the holes as small as possible, so I am wondering if I can cut the telephone wire, and re-join it, either just by binding each of the 4 wires together, or by soldering them. Would this give a good enough connection for ADSL?
The alternative is to drill 12mm holes to allow the RJ-11 (or RJ-12) connector through.
I know I could get a crimper to do this, but I have to do it this weekend, and don't have access to any sophisticated electronic store.
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
