I have a telephone wall jack that is dead unless I tug slightly on the cord. The tension seems to make the connection. I wish to use this jack for both phone and computer connection.

Hi Terry if you undo your line jack socket or master box you should see the wires are in a v grove thats were your problem lies what you need to do is push the wires into the groves more use .the side of a sharp knife then youre socket should work i am a telephone enginer. If on the other hand its the feed wires to your socket orange and white then take each one out at a time then srip back some new wire and put them back in vire the screw that holds them in.

You don't say where you are (country) and they are all different.
