Also, there is an alarm system in our house, and there is a box thingie that would interrupt the line if busy to dial out to the security monitoring center, if needed.<br><br>How would that interface with the demarcation filter? Would the filter be upstream or downstream from this security tap?<br>

</div>Installing a DSL filter at the demarc. is a fun way to simplify your<br>
telephone wiring. The advantage of not having to find a wall-mount<br>
filter for a wall-mount kitchen phone is worth the price of admission.<br>
Plus the geek-cred of saying, "Demarc."<br>

This could probably be a super-trivial 20 minute presentation if one<br>
spoke really slowly while presenting it. Shame it is hardware only.<br>
Nothing to compile.<br>
