I think you're right here (after I did a google search...). Sorry about
that.

It's just because they'd like to make the piece as small as possible.
I use a double at home here, plugged into the patch panel, and there's
_just_ enough room to get a plug and cable into the socket right next
to it.

Done a google search yet? I haven't heard of them, but if you can
find one that would be ideal. Of course the telephone network
wasn't designed to handle 10 devices in parallel due to the
excessive current drain, but recent technology loads the line
a lot less than the clunky bell handsets which the system was
designed for.

Try TLE and J.R.Turk for telephony components. They do trade sales
but also sell direct.

Course you could always do what I did, and get a rack to put it
in. Then you can put in old computers, hardware, basically a rack
can be a big shelf too.
