Yes, this would most probably screw up your DSL as they both use roughly the same technology to communicate with their hosts. The water company's meter communicates back to its host on a different frequency then your phone line. This enables them to use the line at the same time without interfering with your phone service. DSL does the exact same thing. So it doesn't surprise me to hear that it screws up the DSL. I would talk to your DSL provider, and let them know that you have this water meter device on the line. I'm sure they must have run into this before, and they should be able to tell you what your options are. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
