Your chart makes me wonder. You do know that the filters go on
everything
*EXCEPT* the modem right? i.e. filter your phones, answering
machine, alarm
system etc etc etc If so, please ignore the noise, but it's counter-
intuitive
to most people and thus often gets missed.

Actually there is only one filter required. It's a low-pass filter
designed to separate the composite DSL signal into it's two components,
telephone and data. Ask your DSL provider if they have one already
installed-most do.
