As I understand it, you don't need a filter on the modem - only on the
phone. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Andy" wrote in message ...

There are no problems with the telephone. Anyone any ideas? If you have one of the newfangled filters with a split output, be sure that the proper outlet is used; data for the ADSL modem and voice for the other telephone equipment. If you have a simple "pigtail" filter, only filter the telephone equipment; do not filter the ADSL modem. Be sure you filter every piece of telephone equipment on the line. I overlooked a satellite receiver box with a telephone connection and had a week of intermittent trouble until I realized that installation error. I had to buy a short stub cable and a "barrel" connector to fit the satellite box, thanks to the whizz of a technician who set it up. Filters are one way, and the tech left the equipment connected so that I could only connect the filter the wrong way. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint |
