The DSL modem is properly connected. It's power light and ethernet
link light stay on.....the one that is not on is the DSL sync light.
There are filters on the phone lines.
There are no other devices linked into any of the lines.
My 56k dial-up modem worked fine on the existing phone lines.

It sounds like the line inside the house is not the problem. I will
try a direct connection to the outside.
