Re: DSL wiring question

[AZ Woody <reply@here>]

Here's what I did...

I put a junction in and split off the phone  (wall jack) where the DSL
modem was installed.  Then used a single filter for the rest.  (nothing
fancy, just the one that came came with the modem).

No special wiring - no cat 5, just regular phone cable...  It's been
fine for about 5 years.
