There was some talk about filters in this thread -- I have no idea
what that's about but I will find out. I just want to hook the DSL
modem up to my wireless router and have everything work just like it
does now with cable.

My DSL modem came with a box of filters with instructions to
put one on each and every phone connection except for the
DSL modem. Easy.

I also got a filter for my alarm system from the alarm
company ($10) which, I am sure, could have been procured
cheaper elsewhere but I preferred to have them state that
this particular one is appropriate. No problems overall.

Ah, maybe I don't need filters because I don't have a land line.
Thanks to everyone for the info.


Yep, I agree .... you lucky duck.
I wish I could that but I can't (for practical reasons presently).
I dream of the day I can kiss my landline good bye for good.
