On my 7300, purchased from DDS (good people!) in Marietta, Georgia, I DO
NOT have "standard RJ11" ports.  They are RJ45 (8 pins, normally used
for multiline phone installations).  *I* did not modify the ports, and I
doubt that DDS did (this was a fire sale purchase).

You CAN plug RJ11 connectors into the phone ports on my machine and
have the hardware, OS, etc all work fine.  Just plug and go!

I haven't checked if any of the "unused" pins are brought in to the
system board.  Does anyone else have RJ45's?  Is this another
undocumented aspect of the 7300/3B1?  Do I have 2X2 (=4) phone line
capability---as implied by the RJ45's (half :-)).
