YouTubeCould have sworn I saw at least one phone jack in the house on the 2 separate walkthroughs, but nope. So I need to get a jack or two run for the alarm system and I think another for our DSL setup. Phone company is showing 1st available installation 3-4 weeks from now. I really don't want to rearrange the alarm install. Any suggestions for an installer in town that can do something quick?

What Rory said. You ought to be able to install phone jack yourself. It's low-voltage tech, so there's no personal risk.It's more running the line. As far as we can tell, it's all coaxial at the cable outlets like they went through U-verse or something previously.

generally speaking alarms plug into phone jacks in the basement or directly into the phone jack built into to the junction box inside the house. if the building has ever had a regular land line, there'll be a junction box somewhere inside the house you can tie into. You can also tie to another jack if necessary.
ETA: somebody at radio shack can probably show you exactly how to do it, if you can't find an answer on the web.
