I just repaired a laptop modem cable and it wouldn't fit because the two end
pins didn't get pushed in, ev'tho I only used the middle two contacts
anyway. There have to be tools that are smaller (pen sized) than the
plier-type crimpers that let you just push in the contacts. It's funny ever
since I put boots on the connectors, the little clipping tab didn't break so
I didn't notice that the new modem doesn't like my home-crimped connectors. I
couldn't find RJ11 boots and I actually used a medical tubing flange.
