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.
