Actually the connector you are talking about is called 'MMJ'.

RJ11 and RJ12 modular connectors share the same physical size but have 2
and 3 pairs respectively.

MMJ connectors have the same physical size as RJ11/RJ12 but have the
locking tab offset to the left.

Buying RJ12-DB9/DB25 adapters and crimping patch cables with MMJ and RJ12
ends seems to be the best way of doing things, unless of course you happen
to have a console server that is wired for MMJ. :)
