Default Re: Trouble with a 706 faint dial tone.

I have to say that my experience with ADSL splitters is the opposite of Mike's in that they include a ringing capacitor that ensures that a three-wired 'phone rings (and that its receiver functions correctly) - in fact, I have some that I use specifically for this purpose on sockets that aren't wired for three-wire equipment.
