The additional jacks. In our case they were short cords with a phone plug on one end and the other has one or two femal jacks. One is marked telephone the other computer. Or if only one it is for a phone. Anyway make sure the phone is in the right jack. As someone elese mentioned they are filters to keep computer noise out of the phone. The moden probably has a in and out port one going to the phone jack the other to the computer. One needs a little sighted help in identifying these ports and any double ones the filters then it should make sense. You can hear the noise in the phone if you are in the incorrect side on the filters.

I currently have Comcast for my ISp and don't care with the total package we got. So, we went back to A T and T with direct TV. Here's my problem. The sent me a DSL phone modem slash Y-5 for internet access. I've never hooked one of these up before. It came in a box, and the modem is about 8 by 10 inches, with an AC adapter, 2 phone lines about 15 to 25 feet long, not sure, haven't unraveled it yet. Plus 4 different jacks of some kind the fit into the wall jacks. Went to A T and T's web sight and can't a anything on setup or installation. Does anyone on the list give me a help setting this up? __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4835 (20100204) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
