Huh? Remember the Carterphone decision? The one that overturned FCC Tariff Number 132: "No equipment, apparatus, circuit or device not furnished by the telephone company shall be attached to or connected with the facilities furnished by the telephone company, whether physically, by induction or otherwise." Now, your point about rewiring the jack may in fact be the reason for _post-Carterphone_ acoustic couplers, but it was indeed at one time illegal to connect directly (other than AT+T/WE supplied equipment).
