There are two standard telephone connectors. They are used for phone-to-wall and

what is a DIP switch?
It's amazing what engineers take for granted.
DIP stands for Dual Inline Package. It's a plastic or ceramic molding that holds a
silicon chip. There are two rows of either 7 or 8 pins spaced by 0.100 inches and
0.300 inches

4.5 volts is the same as three 1.5 volt cells in series. If you're a bit handy with a
