Did you also know that if that RJ-11 is active and plugged into a NIC, the phone lines die?
That's not quite true. RJ-11 fits into RJ-45 by design, and ethernet doesn't use the middle two wires. I believe the original intent was to allow phone and ethernet to run over the same cable.
Of course, if you have a secondary phone line, or a digital phone system, then who knows?
