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. -John -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
