Yes, a very old phone jack. I don't even remember where I saw those but it was a *very* long time ago |

hmm... I wonder if he was some sort of old equipment buff. The jack looks wierd but I wonder if the wire behind are the standard phone twisted pairs. Maybe he had some old school phone that he could still use. |

Rip the damn thing off and replace it with a standard RJ-12 Plug. |

Yup, I've seen places here in Korea that still have those kind of jacks... I've even lived in some of them. |

not standard twisted pairs, nope, 3 wires, single copper strand, fairly heavy guage by today's standards. Since it's in my 2.5 year old boy's room I think I'll follow it and yank it out, maybe use it to snake a cat5 through the same route or something since there's a big hole in the wall |
