- I just about did the same thing to one of my Megahertz X-Jack modems. I
- figured out that the RJ-11 cable was caught before I ripped the contacts out
- of the X-Jack. The only time I have had a problem is with a really cheap
- phone cable... the ones that only have the inner pair of contacts. The two
- outer contacts of the X-Jack got a little bent but the modem is ok.
-
- Other than that the X-Jack seems to be reasonably sturdy.
