[GreenKeys] Jack Selection for TTY equipment

[Cory Heisterkamp]

Well it took long enough, but the jacks I ordered a month ago finally showed up. They won't win any quality awards but they're insulated, provide individual breaks for tip, ring and sleeve (if that's important to you) and were only a buck and change each. They seem particularly well suited for the application. Pic attached. Now to see how they perform...  -Cory
