Hi,
Robert appears to have covered it fairly well. I have recently
(last November) connected to broadband with iprimus and agonized as
you are because the instructions stated ideally one, or at most, two
phones only on the one line. My line comes into the house in the
lounge room then travels around the outside of the house to the main
bedroom, around the back and other side to the "Office". On this
line I have two handsets, a remote, fax and answering machine. I
simply put a filter on each outlet before the device and the main
filter before the router and all worked well.
A friend of mine who had never touched a computer in his 60 odd
years until just over a month ago has recently done a similar thing
through iinet and had no problems. If he can do it, anyone can.
Have fun and enjoy broadband.

I just went for the Westnet ADSL set-up and the ever helpful guys at
WN were temporarily stumped when I could get no stable connection.
Was it the modem? Tested that somewhere else, fine.
Was it Telstra? WN organised a visit if needed for me.
Meanwhile this is the physical set-up. There are four hard wired
outlets in the building, only one of which is used for ADSL hook up,
the other just phone only. With the kit came one splitter.
Wasn't immediately obvious that ALL four outlets needed a splitter.
AND They Do NOT need a FILTER ....... UNTIL You plug something into
them !
IF you found different your wiring has a problem somewhere !
Do you have an Alarm Dialler ?

PS: The so called " Splitter " is really only a way of putting a
filter in one outlet and providing
an Unfiltered outlet as the second outlet .
Problem solved, even though two of the outlets have no phone connected
normally.
