The easiest solution probably is to replace the faceplate of your NTE5 with a "whole house filtered" version. This has an RJ11 for the ADSL router and an RJ431 for the phone, plus the usual Krone terminals for extension wiring. Everything on the voice side is filtered, and it has a 1.8μF ringing capacitor which will supply a total REN of 4. You can then keep all your voice circuits as three-wire.

The only downside is, your router then has to be near the master socket. But this is less of a problem anyway, if it is used wirelessly.
