Yesterday, I received the necessary hardware. They didn't send enough DSL Filters for all of my phones/Satellite Receivers. Before I go out and buy more filters, I have a question (because I don't think I need to buy more filters). All of my Sat receivers and 2 of my phone lines go through a centralized junction in my basement. Currently, the only line that is connected to the yellow & black wires is the one that will be split between my computer and one of my phone lines. Do I need to install a filter on the other lines split from this junction even though they are not connected to the black & yellow inputs from the phone company? [Link] |

In other words, there can be many devices connected AFTER a filter but there MUST be a filter somewhere between the device in question and the TelCo for ANY voice/data device EXCEPT for the DSL Modem. ~ GaySatyr
