Actually, most homes have only a single pair of wires coming in
from the pole.  In the good ole' days the second pair would be
used to provide power for the light in that cure Princess phone.
Even homes with multiple phone lines (like mine used to be) only
has single pairs run from the pole and terminated in the basement.
If you had multiple line phones using a 4 wire RJ11 the pairs were
combined in the basement where they come in.
