[GTALUG] dsl modem ideas for bell?

[James Knott]

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?
