Those Splitters have been "coming" since the Nokia ADSL became Dick Smith
stock. The only way you are going to get a splitter is to either make one
yourself or become real good friend with the local contractor.

If Dick Smiths do come out with them soon then i will swallow my
characters. But if what is below is true you can see why telecom would want
to not have dick smiths stock them. I can just imagine all the poor
students like myself wiring it up wrong and then having telecom come fix it
and do it properly anyway. Yeah i know its only two wires but theres about
6 places in a master box it wire it too. =P

Cheers,
Taylor
