Yeah, I know that now. I soldered the wires a few years ago because I wanted them to WORK, dammit. ;-) This was in my house, with a mixture of cables with all different wire gauges. When I finish wiring the church up with a 66-block, I'll probably redo my house the same way. Those blocks may be overkill but they are sure inexpensive now.
I do have another question about DSL filters/splitters. Is there any difference really between a$30+ splitter (like the one I linked to yesterday) and a $3 filter (like this one: <http://www.firefold.com/DSL-Filter-P1373.aspx# ), other than the packaging and economy of scale? They sell many thousands of filters vs. dozens of splitters. Do the splitters condition the ADSL port, or is it just fed straight through from the LINE port, and the TEL port is low-pass filtered? Seems like I could use one cheapie filter at the distribution block to service the whole voice line, and I don't have to worry about someone plugging in an old phone without the filter and poisoning the DSL signal.
