a modest proposal...

>It just occurred to me that telephone jacks might be viable. 

They are also limited to a small number of insertions in their life. Modem
manufacturers reccoment that once you plug into one of these, you leave it
plugged in forever.

>They are cheap ( the plugs are about $0.20 and the jacks are about $0.75
>to $1.20 )
>The crimping tool makes it really easy to make cords of any length
>With the multiple conductors, balanced pairs are easy to do
>They support up to 8 lines
>Color coded jacks and plugs are available
