phone works perfect. I actually had to work on the phone line a few weeks before the problems started. There was a connection in water that was shorting. I fixed it and it is no longer in the water. After that, someone else (I wish the boss would mention it when she has other people work on this stuff. They always seem to mess up the system I set up and I have to repair it) I beieve was a former AT&T employee rewired the office so that 5 splitters were no longer needed. He installed a new DSL line filter that is completely enternal. You take the lid off, screw the wires in, and put the cover back on. Also, AT&T ran the tests. It works fine from their end. I did not do anything different to the modem. Same power just a different line at my house. The pantry is under a plaza, so radio waves are not an issue. No towers and shielding from the thick concrete wall next to it. Right before the connection died totally, the modem stopped taking an access code from me. Now there are no problems. That is why I suspected the modem originally.
