What I did (and am doing) for that was this. (Note: I am neither a computer

I bought a 20-pin connection thingies, the type that *can't* break apart. I
used an X-ACTO knife to cut it off after 12 for the fourth. Then, I filed
it down so that it was about where it would be if it had ended. I soldered
the wires in a 1-0-1 pattern all the way thru, and the end that was not filed
was inserted by the RJ11 phone jack.
Something similar could be done for the sensor ports, only the wires would
have to be taped (or something) together so they weren't confused.
