Thanks all.

Yah...I've never had to use DSL filter on any panels (well maybe I did
use one and thats where the one I had in the truck went...but thats
all). The product I usually use does not have a problem with DSL.

ADT retro installed this panel originally under a staircase smack dab
in the middle of the house and the stair case (if you can picture
this) is surrounded by tile floor or wood floor and the only way to
get phone to it was to the nearest bedroom phone jack (it just happens
to be the first jack on the run so we were seizing everythign there)
BUT cant get to the demarc.
