Patch Panels & Phone Connections

[Penth]

I'm about to clean up the mess of phone connections we've got in our house. I'm planning on getting a 12 or 16 port patch panel and mounting it to the wall, but I'm guessing there might be a better method. I just need something that can take 2 wires and split them out to 12 connections or so. I'd like a system that looks nice instead of wrapping the wires around a nail or twisting the wires together. Has anyone done anything like this?

66 Block or 110 Block

K, I was just looking at the 110 block. So you just bring your main line in and then punch down each line into a connector and you're good to go?
