The cable that came with the PAP2T to connect it to the back of a
phone is a two core into RJ11 plugs, and it looks like the wires are
crossed over as each end is different.
I have just disconnected the wire from my old ADSL modem, which is a
four wire with RJ11 on both ends, and this seems to work fine for
incoming and outgoing, although the wiring looks like it is straight
through!
