As for wire, cheap 2 pair is available from Radio Shack, etc.
But, I would suggest that you go to a local telephone supplier and
get 4 pair wire and loop that throughout the house.  24 guage wire will do.

As for instructions, check to local book stores, they may have something
on wiring phones.  I learned phone wiring from practical experience.
If you so desire, I can tell you via e-mail what wire colors go where.
Let me know.
