Actually the offcenter connector has a name already. If I recall
correctly it was RJ-12.
6 wires, off center. I think DEC used them on keyboards and serial ports
on VT-xx0 terminals a long time ago. I'm pretty sure they can still be
found.
It's probably good LEGO didn't pick a standard RJ-11 jack, I'd hate to
think of what could happen to the NXT (or the child) if a kid eve
plugged it into a real live phone line.
