ot: measure dsl with the multimeter

[Derek Trotter]

All a meter will tell you is the voltage on the line.  That's around 48 
volts when the phone is on hook, 6 when the phone is off hook and 90 
when it's ringing.  The multimeter won't tell you anything about the 
quality of the DSL signal or anything about the DSLAM.
