You may or may not be crazy :-) but the RJ jack you are thinking
of was a "shorting" jack that would connect all the pins in the
jack together unless a plug was inserted.

IIRC, it was used to generate indications that eqpt had been
manually disconnected....

Since it shorts all the pins together, it isn't quite what
is needed here.
