[geeks] DSL and a second phone line

[Sandwich Maker]

" From: Brian Dunbar <brian.dunbar at liftport.com>

" Shop has a DSL line - phone and data are on the same 2 pair.  The run 
" back from the jack the punchdown for the building has 8 wires all told.
" 
" A second line is ordered (two business are sharing the space - the 
" fellow comes out does the install and leaves.
" 
" The new jack is using another two wires in the same run.  After my 
" partner hooked up his phone to the new line .. it's got a ton of noise 
" on the line - to the point where you can't hear the other party over the 
" loud metallic HUMMMMMMMMM sound.
" 
" Is the DSL in the same run - but another wire pair - to blame?  I mean 
" generally because I know y'all can't cover over and poke at the wiring . .

smells like it to me.  armchair quarterbacking - the new line needs
the same sort of dsl filtering that the original line has.

second thought - does it sound like powerline hum?  that would be a
bad ground or loose connection somewhere...
