Karen, I am on Primus for DSL and land line. This service comes in through Bell's phone lines. When I installed Primus' DSL modem, admittedly quite a few years ago, I was sent a filter for each of my connections. I have a 56K Hayes style modem, which does not work unless I turn off the DSL modem. Otherwise, everything works fine.

By filter, do you mean those little thingies one could put on the phone to prevent interference? When bell moved me here they claimed I did not need them, but I will dig one out to see if it helps. Bell techs have checked the lines to my apartment, the jack itself, and the cables being used. not sure what might be more local. The filter replacement is a fine idea. Kare

The modem shouldn't be making noise. Is the filter on the phone(s)? When you have ADSL on a phone line, filters are used to keep the phone and modems from interfering with each other. If that's not the problem, call Bell. Also, have you done any testing to ensure it's not something local?

Hi folks, Hope you all are finding ways to feel creative. Wondering if anyone might have a suggestion providing a solution. Bell is my dsl provider, they also provide my land line and satellites service as well, but that is not the issue really. Because I still use analog phone service, its tied to some of my adaptive technology, my dsl modem / rooter combination provided by Bell is a tw or two wire model...or at least it was until this weekend. Honestly I am not a major user of data, but I do often need to connect more than one Ethernet setup, and require that someone using wireless be able to do this with little fanfare. Largely because none of bell's software works for my setup. anyway, the problem is that bell has replaced my beloved modem with one that causes my landline to click, as in makes a constant clicking noise whenever the modem is connected, which is all the time. What I am seeking is hopefully an older, but still to be found prospect, with several Ethernet ports the ability to connect wirelessly, yet being a tw model. My old one had stream in the title if that rings a..bell. I have literary had 5 technicians here since Saturday, with three of them messing up my Internet on top of not addressing the issue. Any bell modem ideas come to mind? why on earth by the way, must I only use bell equipment in the first place? Kare the ranter.
