Hi! Kevin,

On Tue, 14 Mar 06, you wrote to me:

Yeah, it's pretty good.  I can't get the dyndns client update function to work,
so I'm doing manual updates whenever I get an expiry warning email from DynDNS.
 The port-forwarding on port #23 to an internal PC on the LAN seems not to work
as advertised, though I haven't fully sussed that out (it might be port
blocking at the ISP); all other port-forwards are working, BTW.

We've only had to go through one factory reset cycle so far.  Since that time
(December) I've kept a copy of the binary config on my HDD, since that's an
option in the modem, to make the next reset cycle a lot easier.

You need a line 'filter'.  It has something to do with the transmission
frequency range(s) needed by the devices using technology for what was
originally intended to carry only the human voice.

Here, I've got one spare.  You can have it.  :)  It's a D-Link 'inline
filter/splitter' model # C10245E.  (However, that's an Australian spec filter. 
It might still be applicable where you are.[shrug])  The splitter box has an
RJ-11 socket on the left side, to go to your wall socket; the right side has
two RJ-11 sockets, one marked to feed the ADSL modem and the other to feed a
phone or modem.

We have a 'call-back-to-base' home security/alarm system which needed filtering
as well.  (That was the most expensive element in switching over to ADSL, since
only their techie was allowed to do the wiring lest we lose out on the system
warranty.)  In our case we have the line split, with one cable serving the
alarm/phone/modem, and the other essentially straight through to the ADSL
modem.

Did that help?  Or, am I 'going-off at the mouth' about something you already
knew about?  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.
