What's an IDC and why does an RJ12 suck for the target side? I would
guess it is mated/demated less on the target side, so less chance of
problems there.

Actually my preferred ICSP setup is a Wisp628 (DB15 connector), with a
DB15 contra - to RJ12 cable, RJ12 connector on the target PCB. DB15 on
the target would take much more PCB space.
