I misplaced the RJ31X that came with my ELK-M1 so when I connected the phone line I just went directly to the M1 instead of the jack. I then ran a line from the house side of the M1 to the telco punchdown for the house.
Will this be okay? It seems like the only thing I'm giving up is the ability to unplug the M1 from the line in case of a phone problem. Honestly, by the time it would take to get to the panel, unscrew the access door and unplug the wire, I could go find my cell phone and make a call.
