Wrong.

Not that it wont operate that way, but it doesn't provide any option to
disconnect the alarm system from the phone lines in the event there is
a suspicion that the alarm is causing a problem with the phone lines.
Phone company service are usually not even aware of what an RJ 31 X
jack does and will usually disconnect the alarm system anyway by
cutting the wires, but at least the owner can eliminate the alarm
system when the phone service guy automatically assumes and tells the
owner it's the alarm that's causing problems with the phone.
