Karen, I am on Primus for DSL and land line. This service comes in through Bell's phone lines.
When I installed Primus' DSL modem, admittedly quite a few years ago, I was sent a filter for each of my connections. I have a 56K Hayes style modem, which does not work unless I turn off the DSL modem. Otherwise, everything works fine.
