Hi pham, You're right on the G.Lite, no splitter needed. The ADSL connections require the splitter to separate voice from data (voice 0-4kHz; data 25kHz to 1.1MHz). I'm not aware of G.Lite going past 1.5Mb/s, as long as they are being manufactured to G992.2 specifications. I may have missed improvements to the specs, that would not surprise me. Since there is no splitter with G'Lite, noice like clicks from handsets can easily disturb data flow, and modem clicks can be heard on the voice side. In fact, the article that described this is the same one that recommended installing filters to eliminate the problem. I'm safely assuming it would work with ADSL as well. The reason I have ADSL is that is what the ISP offers, kind of hard to get around that :o) It already has a POTS splitter installed at the service entrance, however I'm still getting bleed over. The article mentioned installing passive low-pass filters at each voice phone jack, and a passive high-pass filter at the modem line input port to solve the problem once and for all. If you get any information on the filters, I would greatly appreciate it if you pass it along. My son is 10, and we've just about worked through his 300 in 1 electronics kit from Radio Shack. I might see what he thinks about trying to make something like this. I think its very cool for a 10 year old to know resistors in parallel have a total resistance less than the smallest value of the resistors, and the opposite applies for capacitors. He's still wondering about frequency (other than good ol 60Hz from the wall), so maybe it's time to dust off the scope and give it a try. Pass on anything you hear though ... dad may just end up smoking up the garage as we experiment ... been known to happen once or twice before ... sure glad REAL electronic engineers NEVER smoke hardware, LOL :o) Thanks pham! Regards, JB P.S. >>BTW welcome back. You will not be disappointed!<< Funny, I remember telling someone else that a while back, when the stock was affected by a downturn in the semi industry. There is one BIG difference between now and then, SMTC is an even stronger company now than it was at that time, MUCH stronger actually.
