I didn't use the splitter at all. Just plugged it straight into the phone jack. Tried unplugging the phone too. I did leave it on for a few minutes, too. The modem didn't come with a telecom-style phone plug, so I'm using the same one from my dial-up modem: male telecom - male rj-11 (or whatever number that is). The splitter is male rj11 - (female rj11 phone/female rj11 ADSL). I've also got a male rj11 - male rj11. In short, I don't have the right cable to include the splitter. I was under the impression that it was not required. Is not using the splitter my problem? Cheers, Carl.
