What donald and I are really looking for is a telco jack that we could pin 
right to the board
so that we could easily connect/disconnect a probe (in this instance a DS18S20) 
with either rj45 or
rj11 connector without having to use the screw in adapter.  This would be 
similar to the rj45 jack that 
hobby-boards.com uses to connect the modules.  A rj45 or rj11 jack with board 
pins on the bottom 
instead of a punch block on the back.  the probe uses a 3 pin setup (GND, DQ 
and +12v).  The pinout
can be determined after a jack is soldered to the board with three pins in the 
correct holes.

Subject: Re: [Owfs-developers] 3 wire telco type connector

If you're talking about a modular plug, you probably use whatever type
is cheapest (RJ-11 probably), and only connect up 3 of the 6 conductors.
The handset cords are smaller, but the RJ-11 seems to be the defacto
standard for a lot of prefab 1-wire products.  There's even a standard
of sorts for wire positions.

I wouldn't recommend punchdown blocks for use in situations where you'll
be disconnecting and reconnecting often.
