[TriLUG] "IP Passthrough" and AT&T 1-Wire

[Neil L. Little]

[----snip----]

I still haven't done anything yet, but expect to try the new box
sometime soon.  I have also taken another suggestion, and bought a box
for the outside of the house, to split the DSL from the voice lines. ( I
expect it in the mail one of these days. )

[----snip----]

Out of curiosity, where and which dsl-splitter did you select?
