I checked all the connections and they were all clean and none were bent. We use a wireless phone in the front of the house that just has a base unit with one wireless phone running off of it. This is the phone that is set up on the splitter with the wireless dsl internet. This phone works when the wireless internet is running but there is slight static in the phone. It is a 5.8 GHz. Then in the back of the house we have our land line phone. It is plugged into a different phone jack and is where we receive our messages. It uses a corded phone so that we can still use it when the power goes out. It is a 2.4 GHz. Right when I pick up the phone ad listen to the dial tone it does the regular tone for about 3 seconds and then I get the weird sound of a fax or dial up internet sound and I cant dial a number without constantly hearling that sound. Since this is the phone that receives our messages, every time someone leaves us a message, all we hear is the weird noise. Any suggestions

If not, that could be the cause of your problem. From your description, it sounds as if that land line phone might be killing your DSL (because it is not filtered). Then the DSL starts up again. When it first starts, it may use a high signal level that is adjusted down once the connection is established. And the noise you hear is due to that high initial high signal level. Okay, I'm just guessing there. Make sure that the land line phone is filtered. Otherwise it is going to cause problems for you. And while about it, check that all phones are filtered. -- AT&T dsl; Westell 327w modem/router; openSuSE 11.0; firefox 3.0.10
