     It is becoming common to use 4 and 6 conductor modular telephone
jacks in non-telephone applications.  MOD-TAP and Nevada Western sell
modular jack to DB-25 adapters, along with various other accessories,
intended for use in connecting up terminals to computers.

     Is there a standard, de-factor or otherwise, for the pinout on this
sort of thing?  Are MOD-TAP and Nevada Western adapters compatible?
