Posted replies show a varying amount of understanding of how tel_cum
_ADSL works.

May I clarify please?


Possibly sowing a bit more confusion though?

The full telephone signal (ADSL+tel sound) is fed
into your computer network card (which contains a high pass filter to
capture the ADSL signal only).


Did you really mean to write that? you don't feed the ADSL signal into
the network card. you need an ADSL modem to take the signal and then
feed it to a computer. Nowadays this is normally combined with a router
as well, but it is possible to get a standalone ADSL modem
