Additional note to this. When I got my DSL from SNET (in CT), they
shipped the parts first. These included some small filters that installed at
the phone and DSL modem.
	When the installers came (I got the Free Install promo deal), they
had a splitter in the truck, which they installed at the block, where the
POTS came into the house. This is the better option. Just the one splitter,
instead of a filter at each phone. You probably should ask about this
option, either when you order the service, or when the installers come to
your house.
	Granted, you either need all 4 wires running to your DSL modem
location, or you lose the telephone in you computer room. I use the modem
for other stuff, occasionally, and already had all 4 wires to the room. So I
lucked out.
