8/4 I am a cheap bastard who knows RF, but doesn't know jack about DSL.
What exactly is a dsl filter? what rolloff frequency is needed?
can i just make a rc filter or pi filter with a pair of modular jacks,
or is it an active filter of some kind? i already stfw'd and all anyone
wants to tell me is where to buy one.
\_ What are you trying to do?
\_ I think he's trying to steal DSL off his phone line or something
like that and his time has zero value but I'm just guessing.
Think of Qusay's children!
\_ no, i'm paying for dsl, and already have one filter for
my phone. i just want another filter for my other phone
so it doesn't interfere with the dsl or cause odd noises
on the line. given that i spend alot of time making rf
filters anyway, this filter might well take me ten minutes
to build if i know what frequency i'm trying to filter.
since a new filter is about 15 dollars, i would have to
value my time at 90 dollars an hour for it to not be worth
my time to make the filter. since i'm a grad student, my
time is worth considerably less than that.
\_ but you've already spent more than that time Sing the FW
and typing stuff on motd. and since you already "know RF"
you aren't even learning anything.
\_ Doesn't SBC give you like 3-4 of the filters anyway?
I seem to recall having many extras, send me an email
if you're local to Berkeley and I'll bring one in - mds |
