I recently found out the hard way that a device which is expecting an
RJ-41S jack will not work with an RJ-11 jack (even though the modular
plug fits!).

I'm wondering what is unique about an RJ-41S termination other than
the fact that it seems to be used for data terminal equipment like
modems?

Thanks for any help you can give,
