Jean: I don't believe it uses the second pair. I'm running DSL on a single copper pair, dial tone and DSL all on one pair of copper. You need to install filters between your DSL enabled CO line and your actual telephones/modems/faxes, etc. to prevent them from sending any signal into the frequency range used by DSL (it's cool because you notice nothing, no speed degredation or anything when on the phone and using your DSL full-bore, because they operate at very different frequency ranges.) It's probably not material really, but I just had to nit-pick :) (is nit-pick spelled right? hmm, not a word I've ever typed out before hehe) Wes > You don't need a second phone line. The DSL circuit uses one pair and > your phone uses the other pair in a standard phone line installation.
