What parts do we need? What's the best method for wiring that doesn't require spending all day in a black widow spider infested crawl space?
Two approaches here. One is put a filter at the metwork interface (where the phone line comes into the house) and rig dedicated DSL loops off the unfiltered side.
Second approach is to just plug in a filter at each phone outlet and run the phones off the filtered side and DSL off the unfiltered side. The second method is easier but if you know you have a short fix that first. What leads you to believe you have a short, the phones will either not work or be intermittent under that condition... Cable cat won't matter to any appreciable degree. It's just twisted pair copper. You may want to check polarity at your jacks, Radio Shack sells a polarity tester for less than $15. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
