It looks like that particular connector is out of stock. I used the AMP's 
555165-1, which Digikey has 7161 of. It's the same connector found in 
Eagle's con-amp.lbr.

AFAIK, the difference b/w an RJ-11 and RJ-12 is the footprint. RJ-11 can 
have a maximum of four contacts, and RJ-12 can have six. Mechanically, they 
seem to be identical (you can plug an RJ-11 into an RJ-12). Perhaps someone 
knows for sure?
