Did you remember to install a filter on that phone?  As I recall, every 
pbone must be connected through a filter.  My neighbour had the opposite 
problem.  She's been trying for a couple of months, to get Sympatico 
ADSL going.  We gave up on the 1st modem she got.  Then when we plugged 
in the replacement, it killed the phone line for the phones.  The 3rd 
modem should be arriving soon.
