The 2 plug in filters I have pulled apart to see what was inside only
filtered one of the 2 legs of the phone line. I had issues with my
answerphone trashing the DSL connection, once I connected 2 filters back
to back after changing the plug on one to filter the other leg of the
line.

Only filtering one leg at my place meant when I had a long extension
downstream of the filter I got some AM radiostation coming thru on the
phoneline clear as a bell when using the phone on that extension cable.
The 2 cascaded filters solved that problem as well. I don't know if the
fixed install filters are any better, but filtering only one line, and
then connecting a long piece of wire into the line with a capacitor is a
definate way to introduce RF to the filtered side and a rather large
imbalance in an otherwised reasonably well balanced line.

Hmmm, so what would be considered a 'good quality' filter?  Anyone have
one?
I've tried an Asus branded filter and a DSE one.  Not actually sure
where you'd get one!?

I have heard back from Panasonic regarding their phones and ADSL
Filters.
One of their Technical Reps has observed that the phones are not at
fault, but cheap DSL filters are.  Apparently a bulletin has been sent
out to Panasonic phone dealers about this so they should know the story.
The general thought appears to be that a full-install should be used, as
opposed to filters which are likely to be less reliable. Again, this is
from Panasonic, not me. :)
My personal suggestion is that anyone experiencing problems with a
Panasonic should take it up with their dealer, who should apparently
have some official information from Panasonic regarding the issue. Mark.
