They are PhoneNet connectors. You use 4 wire flat telephone cord to
connect Mac's and AppleTalk printers into a network. You also need a
small terminator resistor to fill the blank jack at each end. Asante
makes a "EtherTalk" hardware bridge to join AppleTalk to an ethernet
network. You just plug the PhoneNet into the bridge.
BTW, how was First Saturday? I figured it was too stormy so i didn't go.

Some are made by Farallon, others by PowerUser. What do they do (exactly)
and how do they do it? I'm assuming they connect a Mac to a phone line, but
what does that accomplish?
