That's completely wrong. I've never heard that terminology used, or if I
did I ignored it as being ignorant. An RJ-11 is a single pair telephone
jack plug.
Thanks to that link, it is claimed to be an RJ-22,
which sits MUCH
better with me since it has its own designation. I can't speak for its
accuracy as it is the first time I have heard that, but if I had to
pick, I would go with RJ-22 over RJ-11 "handset".
I never knew a handset had an RJ number. But anyway, I'll still just call
it a "handset" as that makes more sense.
Oh, and I was taught in the field all my telco
knowledge, never went
to school... it is learned from various Bell and private
installers/techs/whathaveyou... so who knows how accurate they are,
but I tend to give them more credence than most schools (except maybe
some Bell installers, the older ones are good, but most of the younger
ones suck royally)
Ditto, but I had very good mentors, and they all knew the proper
terminology.
