Re: [vox-tech] OT: DSL Filters

I could not tell from your diagrams that you had proposed using 2-line filters, but if you have a two line phone, then I would use a 2-line filter. After due consideration of price, convenience, and aesthetics, I decided to use a modular two-line to line 1/line 2 adapter for this... the two-line filters ran in the US$13-US$18 range, while the modular adapter was US$2.50. So, now my wall jack has an adapter plug on it with two modular cables running to the phone with the line filter is on line 2; line 1 is unfiltered; and everything works as it's supposed to. Although it IS ugly :^( Thanks for your input, though :^) MB Marc Elliot Hall wrote: MB wrote: Have you tried searching the web for two line filters? http://www.twacomm.com/Catalog/Model_900LCC-2F-50.htm bottom of: http://www.2wire.com/office/adap_fil.html http://www.telephonestuff.com/Catalog/Jmp_Suttle/Dept_ID_302.htm This would solve your problem? Yes, I have searched for two-line filters. Thank you for the links. However, my question was: I have a bunch of two-line phones; and I have two phone lines.

To ensure seamless service, I activated DSL on the second line and then cancelled DSL on the primary number. So, now I want to use my two-line phones with, get this, BOTH phone lines. Unfortunately, although they have two pairs of pins at each connector, it appears that my line filters (mPHASE Technologies model DFMU2PL1001) do not pass the second line signal through to the phones. Leaving the filter off allows me to use the second line, but periodically disrupts the DSL service and results in a low signal-to-noise ratio.
