It's only for the lines where your phones are connected. Don't put one on the line where your dsl is running on.

Anything that has a device connected needs to be filtered (with the obvious exception of the DSL device).

Phone, fax, modem, tivo, etc.

if you have another phone line without DSL i'm guessing those phones don't need it. but it wouldn't hurt anything to put them on anyway.

I beg to differ. I've had Insight-RoadRunner for a year and a half... and ordered SBC Yahoo DSL a couple of weeks ago. It is basically a bunch of crap... while the "HomePortal" shows the connection speed at exactly what I'm guaranteed, I'm not actually getting that from places that I *know* have more than enough bandwidth to be running at that speed. Not to mention having to install their software on at least one machine to configure the connection.

I hadn't removed RR yet, so I just plugged it back in... now to break the SBC contract :-/
