Point of clarification: Many of the microfilters have 2 jacks, one is
filtered, one is not. The unfiltered jack is where your DSL modem should be
plugged in. The filtered jack is for other analog devices as previously
mentioned. If your filter has 2 jacks, make sure you have plugged the DSL
modem into the correct one.
