I would have to agree with Eric's first approach.
That approach served my family well prior to the fios install.
Phone line ---------------filter------house phones

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.
