Looing at the description of them it just is a large adapter with Male
BT on one and Female BT on the other end (with the spliter between them)
and you put it between the phone and line for every phone that you have.
you don't have to change anything with your wireing. Is if you have 3
phones in the house, you have to buy 3 of them!!!

Remember the Spliter is for the VOICE part of it so is blocks out the
voice frequencies when you use a phone over it the same time as the DSL
so you need to put it on every line you have a phone.

Thanks
Craig..

Thanks
