RJ11's are just fine if you don't plan to plug and unplug them much. They aren't designed to handle that and do break easily. It offends my sense of order to use them on terminal lines almost as much as it would to use 110v plugs, I'm afraid that if two things can be plugged into each other, they will, and some terminal will blow up when it get's the ring voltage. -Ron
