Usually, when I don't have the patience to help people, instead of incorrectly labelling something, I yell at them about what it really is. I'm just that cranky about computer supportI mean, I don't have the patience to teach everybody everything, so whatever leaves me with 1 less call or question, I'm all for.

We all deal with computer morons, but you gotta applaud one who's mindful enough to realize his own ignorance, and label things accordingly, with labels that mean something to him, regardless of how technically correct they are.

Now, if it really was a modem, and he somehow managed to shove an rj45 into a hole for an rj11. Well, then, he deserves to be shot
