Polarity issues are so easily analyzed, after all, there's only two ways a pair can be terminated.
Polarity can also be inadvertently reversed, by using different manufacturers' jacks and cords. Remember, an "RJ11" or "RJ14" type cord is supposed to have a natural reversal built in, but I have encountered off-shore cords that do not reverse the pairs. I have a pile of them here that I bought for about a penny apiece on Ebay.
However, getting back to this mind-numbing thread, it seems incredible to me that a smart, educated, IT person cannot figure out the simplest polarity problem, if that's what's causing this.
Step one: find the last place along the circuit that the phone works correctly.
Step two: extend the pair to the next point and test again.
My goodness, it's like trying to get water to run down hill. It's not rocket surgery, gentlemen.

It must be my kind and gentle approach. Every time I offer some down-to-earth advice, along with questions that need to be answered, I get ignored.
It's just like talking to my first wife.
