Your ADSL provider should have instructions on how to connect a standard
voice telephone to the ADSL line. This usually involves connecting the ADSL
line to a filter unit, then connecting the phone to the output of the

the output connector of the filter. Your ADSL provider should have these
filter units as well as instructions on their use, so should your local
Radio Shack store:
