When you look at the plastic end of the phone/modem cable, there are some
phone/modem cables that have 4 golden metal stuff attached to yellow, green,
red, blu/black wires, other just 2 (green/red).

The first kind of modem I have will work with both kind of cables, the 2nd type
only with 2 wires cables.

Note, that I don't know anything about the structure or functioning/purpose of
those wires, just that some have 2 some 4 :-)
