457269 2006-05-24 05:30:00 I'm wanting to know if I can use a RJ12 cable (RJ12 plug to RJ12 plug) to connect my router to the ADSL wall outlet, instead of the normal RJ11, since I can't find an RJ11 extension cable.

My understanding (thanks to wiki: en.wikipedia.org) is that they're exactly the same physical plugs, it's just that RJ12 have another cable pair connected.

Thanks in advance
