Both are 8 pin modular jacks with the same dimensions. However, they are 
different on which pair they transmit and receive on. Telco equipment 
uses RJ48 and so if you want to use the 'T1' cables, you will need an RJ48.

If this is for DID trunks probably 'E&M'. For E&M trunks Kewlstart, loop 
start or ground start does not apply. They apply to lines not trunks.

We use Wink for our DID trunks.

Also, the phone company will probably set it up to send you calls 
starting on channel one and moving up for the first available channel. 
You will want to start at the highest channel and work down when sending 
calls to them. This will minimize 'glare', when both parties try to 
initiate a call on the same channels at the same time.
