I'm at a different office today but I will check a few things. I'm not sure what the old jacks are. I honestly never even thought to check that.
The new jacks that will be installed on Wednesday are RJ25 Cat3 USOC jacks.

That's what was originally there and that's what the company had left over. Just following what is already in place.
As i've said, i'm an IT guy not a phone guy, what would be the better option?

I was just saying that the RJ designations are incorrect.
Do you have a local vendor you can call in for more advanced help?

Yes but it's not an option because the owner does not want to pay. I've been through this already, I've actually had to do a lot of PBX work outside of what I know because the company elects not to pay professionals.

Try telling your boss something like:
"I only have two hands, a left & a right. I therefore cannot perform miracles. Either pay someone who knows what he's doing, or go without."
It's that simple. Today's economy is no excuse.
Scientists say that the universe is made up of Protons, Neutron & Electrons. They forgot "Morons".

i have a lot of trouble understanding what the op saying but it seems to me he could figure this out himself with just a continuity checker, a cheap cable tester, a cheap voltmeter or a flashlight battery and bulb (if you want to do this mcguyver style).

I'm still thinking it could very well be a polarity issue. The Axxess phones ARE polarity sensitive and at times I've had to roll pairs on the cross connects to make them work.
