maccrawj,
Well, OK. LOL! You caught me really good. I did forget to mention that
the special dsl "filter" the modem plugs into (through) is a 2-connector
model. One connector is labeled "DSL" and the other connector is labeled
"PHONE." I assume that the "DSL" connector by-passes the filter and
goes just to the wall (phone line). All the other dsl filters I use
have just ONE rj11 female to plug in a single phone line cord.
Sorry for the confusion....... :) So, the map should be:
Modem->APC->"Filter by-pass"->wall jack->TSID->POTS

Do I read that right, you have a DSL modem plugged into a DSL line
filter???
Modem->APC->Filter->Walljack?
Can't be, I must be reading this wrong since those filters block DSL
data signals.
When I had DSL the only thing I protected was the ethernet patch to my
router from the modem has a BlackBox brand inline surge protector. If
the modem went who cares, if it entered the LAN big problems was my
thinking. Still doing same with cable as it's their modem anyway.

Mark,
OK. Well the ups swap worked. DSL is back solid w/o dropouts.
The dsl phone-line filter is plugged into the wall phone jack. Then I
run a small phone cable (rj11) to the ups "phone in" connection. The dsl
modem WAN port then connects to the ups "phone out" connection. This is
really the only phone-line connection I run through a ups "phone
filter/protection" feature.
