do you get star motion when calibrating?

I spent a night debugging this with a mate some time ago. Whilst the notes are correct - very few RJ12 phone cables are actually 6 wires connected straight through. they vary normally between 1 pair and 2 pairs, and only specialist cables will have the three pairs.
his result was guiding that would try to issue pulses and even worked in one direction....
a quick visual inspection of the terminated ends will confirm how many cables are in there....
if in doubt, confirm with the tech's where you purchased the cable.
