:I get the feeling that you aren't telling us something here. Why don't you want the DSL signal on your main telephone line? If you are using another ISP, they would insist on placing it on your main telephone line or you would face extra charges for wiring it to your jacks (as the Bell tech stated). Why not go the easy way and use the number you have existing? The bonus here would be the ability to "hear" trouble on your telephone line when there is degradation on your DSL signal. The ear is the best testing device for telephone troubles and now DSL troubles (dry dsl is hard to "hear" anything). Why complicate things...tell us the whole story.
The reason behind what he wants is really none of our business or concern. the fact of what he wants is all we really need to know in order to help him with achieving his goal.. Why would you think he's hiding something? And even if he was, good for him.. He must like his privacy as much as I do.
