When I say "two lines", I mean that you only have one line run from the main
phone wires to your house. But from there, the line is split into two sep.
lines, like you would if you had a second phone line for phone calls. The
one just doesn't have a dial tone. That is still a RJ-11 plug that the
"modem" hooks into.
Technically, they both run through the same line from the phone box to the
Telco, but from the computer, to the box, the lines are two separate ones (I
guess that's through the "buffer") . Some Telcos offer the choice to split
the line inside the house, or outside. I think most recommend having it
outside, as it makes things easier to troubleshoot, since there is then a
specific line that is nothing but DSL and others that are phone only.
Example picture of what I'm trying to say at:
http://www.dslreports.com/information/kb/DSL-1/pictures (second pic) I think
you are talking about the third pic, which is the other option.
I'd love to have the speed you have up there. I have 1.1/128 (advertised).
But then, my connection runs into a phone company "substation" a mile down
the road, rather than the main office on the other side of town.
