Where do you put the hand set?

RJ11 clips into the back. There was a time when you had to plug in a handset but it was gone by the mid 80s, as a direct connection to the wall allowed for higher speeds than a hand fitted coupler could.

Aww. I was just pulling your leg. My earliest modem was a 9600 baud with those rj11 plugs.
