DSL Gotcha

[Kurt Wall]

Hey, list,

I learned something interesting about DSL today. I was having lots
or intermittency problems with my DSL connection. A call to tech
support later, and it was fixed. Immediately. The solution: make
the RJ11 cable from the wall jack to the modem as short as possible.
The Ethernet cable can be as long as the protocol supports, but the
RJ11 cable needs to be very short, or the connection will be unstable.

Go figger.
