I guess (and I am not sure) it is a phonenet adapter. You plug the previous
mac in the net in one of the RJ-11 connectors and the next mac on the other
and so on. It was used before ethernet became popular (at the time, ethernet
was hideously expensive and quite unreliable) and is very slow when compared
to it.
