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.
