I was just curious, because I saw DSL installed at a house once.  They ran a
wire through the crawlspace and put a new RJ12 wallplate on the wall (There
was already a RJ12 wallplate about four feet away) and then used some kind
of goofy converter to hook up the DSL modem.  I couldn't get in behind the
rat's nest of wires to see what this contraption consisted of and the wire
on the outside of the house was in conduit.  I thought it was rather
peculiar because this house was only around ten years old and had RJ12 run
throughout.

Thanks for your prompt response
