It covered other ways of accessing phone lines when you don't have an RJ-11 jack to plug into. -Does anyone remember which issue this appeared in? (and if in fact it was PC magazine or not?) -Does anyone have another source for this type of information (i.e. adapting phones etc. to use "standard" RJ11 type connectors)? Thanks!!
