Wrong. They are not RJ11.
They appear to be RJ12 (with 6 wires) with an offset catch thing
Someone said they might be the same as an old DEC connector but someone
else has said that the DEC connector has the catch on the opposite side to
the mindstorms NXT.
I suspect they didnt go with normal RJ11/12 because, if someone plugged a
phone cable into it, bad things could happen to the NXT brick, whatever is
at the other end of the phone cable or the person who plugged it in.
