And it didn't occur to you to take it to the library desk given that it is likely someone else might have inadvertently forgotten it? -- James Leo Ryan Austin, Texas

The bottom port is likely a voice plug (the V being a hint). You would simply need to plug an ethernet cable in it and see if you can DHCP some IP address from them. Ethernet uses RJ45. Home phones use RJ11 (narrower). But business phones often use RJ45 as well, and newer IP phones also use RJ45 (since they are really ethernet connections).

I don't think that's what he means; I think he means he found it _installed_ next to the carrel. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer
