I do this and have not had problems. However as I said in another
thread, I had some problems attempting to use one filter for all the
phones in my house. For that you need a dedicated DSL splitter,
installed at the demarc. But using the conventional filters, I have
had a phone, answering machine, ReplayTV and fax modem hanging off one
filter with one of those multi-phone-outlet things from the 99 cent
store and haven't had problems. |

The filter is a low-pass to the Phone Jack that removes the DSL carrier |
so the phone line equipment doesn't receive it; it also minimizes any
high-frequency transients that the phone equipment may generate to the
line. With any filter, there is a limit to the number of loads it will
support, but modern phones and other devices have very small load
factors, so connecting multiple devices to the phone jack shouldn't be a
problem. |

You seem to have had a successful dsl installation ..... maybe you can
put me on the right track.
I don't have a DSL splitter and live in an apartment with only 2 wall
phone boxes.
Can I put a plain old 99 cent splitter from the first line out of the
box, then run 1 line direct to my modem. Into the other side of the
cheap splitter, insert a dsl filter and then phone lines and cheap
splitters to a phone, phone answering machine on to a second phone?
The 2nd wall phone box would have a dsl filter and only serve i phone.
Do you think this will work?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.

It should work, but your DSL connection will be at the mercy of the
wiring in your apartment to your phone jacks. If that wiring is high
quality, and the jacks are in good shape, you should be fine. If not, you
will lose performance.
If you are very serious about your network access, this is not an
acceptable solution. If you will be happy if it works and don't care about
the best possible setup, then see if it works.

The BEST installation, performance-wise, is a splitter at the box where |
the phone line enters the building, with a 'home run' line run to a jack
for the modem, and the existing wiring connecting to the phone output of
the splitter, as D. Schwartz implies. That way you're sure to get a
quality wire from the entry point to your modem. You'll have to talk to
your building manager to get permission for this, though.
Your connection will probably work; you want the best quality duplex
adapter you can find - one that fits securely into the wall jack. Or,
you can get a duplex jack at the hardware store and replace the single
output with it; that way you don't have to depend on the adapter to make
a good connection. Just be prepared to put the old one back if/when you
move out. |
