Neat hack - go out to the CPE box on the side of the house, split the one
line feed, put the filter on one side of the split and re-connect all your
phones. Then, take the other side of the splitter and plug it into a
second/third/whatever line and hook your DSL modem direct to that.

10 Minute project, esp. if your house is recent and you are already wired
for dual-line pnones...
