Digital in the 2.4Ghz range. If they are not in this range you should be okay.

285262 2004-10-28 20:40:00 This Thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) contains a blow by blow explanation of how to wire your own splitter into your phone system and save $175 over the cost of Telecom installation. depending on your skills it can involves buying a tool that you will only use once, but the "do it once and do it right" mantra applies.

Have a read then give it a try, it is pretty straightforward so long as you remember you want a straight-through line to your dedicated adsl outlet, and everything else gets fed through the splitter/filter.

285263 2004-10-28 20:47:00 i think you should check your alarm if you can and see how it tests your phone line
mine tests it every nite around midnite

i opened the alarm security box...alarm went off..disabled it..
i took a look inside and noticed the phone line was connected in series into the alarm system, instead of parallel like normal phones
so when ever it does a check, it can disconnect any telephone activity, then it connects and test for line and stuff
this would've caused my adsl modem to disconnect every nite
i've heard that some only check phone line when alarm goes off or something

with all this in mind, adding filter to alarm or disconnecting it woundn't work
you don't wanna make your alarm go crazy when it notice that the phone line isn't there anymore...
and also due to the way the alarm is connected, i think if i filtered the alarm, the whole house will end up getting filtered, leaving me no place to plug in my adsl modem



anway
at the end i did end up calling for a telecom guy to come and install the filter
wasn't worth the money i reckon
but i don't want to screw my phone line up and stuff so.. yea..
