Gman, I am not 100% sure but I think the industry standard you are talking about has changed some time ago.
Could you cite a bit more detail as to how it has changed?
You mean the standard of calling a two-wire connection an RJ11, a four-wire connection an RJ14, and a six-wire connection an RJ25? The standard is still in place, but we generally call all of the RJ11s.
Do you instead mean that the use of the jack that will accept a plug with up to six wires has been supplanted by use of the eight-pin jack? Officially, meaning the standard has changed, as opposed to what this thread is about, meaning unofficial practices?
