Ok, you are probably going thru the Ramp Up process, just leave your modem on....it usually take 10 days to find your optimal speed.....SATASI

unplug the wall phone from the filter and see if you still have intermittent signal. SATASI

said by Tech-2006 :

You can do many different modifiations to get that to work and yes you can modify the filter they sent you any way that you need to. My parents house had the older style lines and I did the mods and used CAT 3 wire from Radio Shack to run the line along with the filtered line to other locations in the house. Make sure you have your wire color codes down since that older wiring sometimes uses different colors.

Yes sir....SATASI

said by satasi :

First, you have to get a modular rj11, second, you have to make a short modular cable on one end and open face on the other end so you can hardwire the open face end into the phone....once all that is done just put your filter in the modular jack and plug the cable you made for the phone in the phone side of the filter. SATASI

Like I said earlier it is hardwired in the phone set, if you take the cover off the wall phone you should see the IW wired to terminals T,R,G which is TIP, Ring and ground. SATASI

Can you post a picture of the wall phone and jack? SATASI

said by sonic2000 :

the rotary phone again has no connectors at the end. It goes straight into a jack, i guess it's a modular one I am not a pots person so i don't know.

So it a rotory phone,with a wire coming out the back of it,with a RJ-11 male connector at the end onf the wire?

Edit: You need a wall mount DSL filter?

Ok, does the wall phone have a modular jack on the back of it? SATASI

said by Enlightener :

This is a problem that would be solved with a pocket knife and a screw driver faster then talking about it here.

Cut the dang cable. Strip the red and green leads and connect it to an RJ-11 jack. Pick a jack that can be surface mounted if it's coming out by a baseboard or pick a jack that is recess mounted if it's coming out of the wall. Mount the jack on the wall, throw the old rotary phone away and get a modern telephone. Otherwise splice an RJ-11 jack on the old cable to the phone if you still want to use it.

This isn't rocket science. I was solving problems like this in old houses over 25 years ago when I was 7 years old.

If you have the old 4-pronge connector,then you need an adapter. »www.customphones.com/item80509.ctlg

well a rotary phone can be either a desktop or wall phone...now what you have is a hardwired wall phone....goes back to the seventies when we hardwired all phone sets......there a wall plates for dsl but you have to convert the backside of the wall phone with a modular backplate........you will need a kit to convert the backplate for a WE 554 phone to modular so you can use a wall plate that has the filter built in.

I'm not familiar with rotary phone connection methods (I do remember that their wires were screwed into little tin boxes), but to cover some other aspects of your situation, is that the only phone on the line? I'm just checking to see if there any chance that there is already a POTS splitter out at the NID and a home run leading to a jack expressly for DSL in the place? This situation would not need any of the microfilters.

Do you know what a rotary phone is?
