Rotary Phone Connection For DSL

  • 2

I am trying to hook up an old-rotary phone, but I need the
DSL filter, as well. Since this phone does not use the
standard jack, I am having trouble finding a connector
block that uses screws so that I can connect the wires
from the phone to a connector box and the DSL filter to
that box and then into the wall.

  1. Whether it works or not has little to do with DSL. It all depends if your phone company has the necessary equipment to recognise pulse dialing instead of the tone dialing of a modern phone. The two co-existed for a while but whether they still do is another matter. Incoming calls wont make any difference.

    All you need do after the is to connect the DSL filter in-line the with incoming phone cable. it should be relativity easy to fit an RG11 plug onto the end of the telephone cable.
