The additional jacks. In our case they were short cords with a phone plug on
one end and the other has one or two femal jacks. One is marked telephone the
other computer. Or if only one it is for a phone. Anyway make sure the phone
is in the right jack. As someone elese mentioned they are filters to keep
computer noise out of the phone. The moden probably has a in and out port one
going to the phone jack the other to the computer. One needs a little sighted
help in identifying these ports and any double ones the filters then it should
make sense.
You can hear the noise in the phone if you are in the incorrect side on the
filters.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Help needed;
I currently have Comcast for my ISp and don't care with the total package we
got. So, we went back to A T and T with direct TV. Here's my problem. The
sent me a DSL phone modem slash Y-5 for internet access. I've never hooked
one of these up before. It came in a box, and the modem is about 8 by 10
inches, with an AC adapter, 2 phone lines about 15 to 25 feet long, not
sure, haven't unraveled it yet. Plus 4 different jacks of some kind the fit
into the wall jacks. Went to A T and T's web sight and can't a anything on
setup or installation. Does anyone on the list give me a help setting this
up?
