[ale] [OT]: dsl splitter?

[Mike Murphy]

its the divide that you can put at the heart of your phone network that 
splits DSL from voice (thus eliminating filters on all your phones). Its 
preferred, even required, when you're telco setup includes an alarm.

I've been cruising along with filters on all my lines for a while now, 
but the alarm has quit working (and I've got high noise on my line), so 
I'm working to fix this the "right way".
