Does DSL like a straight line with the DSL modem at the end 
and does not like a branching topology? Is one clean way of 
supporting DSL and multiple telephones to have the 
DSL/phone splitter filters where the phone service comes into 
the house, then connect the filtered phone service to the 
all the red/green pairs of the various phone jacks in parallel, 
and to connect the filtered DSL service to the black/yellow 
pair of _only_ the phone jack that will have the DSL modem on it? 
Is DSL sensitive to this kind of stuff when one is far from the 
DSL company's modem?
