If its an always on connection just use your butt set and listen for the
buzz.  If it is not an always on connection look for DSL filters on devices
tied to that line.

By being familiar with the various high speed interent services offered in
my area I can often figure out what the risks are by asking them, "Do you
have high speed interenet? Who from?"  If I don't "KNOW" what the provider
they mention offers I ask to see their modem.
