Are you adding DSL service?

If you are installing the DSL modem in your bedroom and only have one jack, and one phone line, you can get an adapter that will let you plug in both. Plug the DSL modem into one side, plug the DSL filter into the other and then the phone into the filter.

You'll need to install "DSL Filters" on all the phones in the house. Just unplug the phone, install the "DSL Filter" and plug the phone into it.

If you have two phone lines, post back.
