-> In order to check for an open, one would have to short the R and G wires
-> at the most remote phone outlet and then check for continuity at the
-> first phone outlet.  Hmmm??? I wonder just which one in my house IS the
-> most remote? The way the house is laid out it would be just a wild
-> guess.

-> There really isn't any easy way to check for an open.

 Yes there is. Just put a "Tone Generator" on at the point of entry into
the house, disconnecting the line coming in from outside. And go
around to all outlets and check for the tone. 

 IF there is a open wire somewhare a possable solution is to procure
some of those adapters that use the House Electrical Wiring to
distribute the Telephone service. Instal one at the point of entry to
the house and one in each room you want phone service.
