disconnect when picking up and hanging up phone Bucky 12-30-06

I have a weird issue where the DSL disconnects after picking up and
hanging up the landline phone. It will reconnect after a few minutes
after picking up the phone, even while the phone is in use. But after
hanging up the phone, the same thing happens again.

Has anyone heard of an issue like this? Any suggestions for
troubleshooting? I have the filters on every phone. Is it possible that
it is a provider (SBC Yahoo) issue rather than my phone?

Filters, filters, filters. Everything must be filtered.
Any device connected to the same telephone number or telephone line must
have a filter between the device and the phone line. (Exception: the
dslmodem itself does not require a filter.

Or maybe a bad filter.
Or bad wiring (your 'tip and ring' may be mixed)

alarm/security system: active or not (call alarm/security company for
filter instructions)
utilities: does the meter report by phone? filter must be provided by
utility company
water
gas
electric
paging or intercom system that uses phones: may require a whole house filter
(POTS splitter (also works for alarm system)) or separate line for dsl
rollover lines: put the dsl on your fax line, not one of the rollover lines

satellite (and rarely cable) box may use phone for premium services, such as
pay per view
external ringer or light flasher
distinctive ring

other phones:
attic
garage
bedroom
upstairs
downstairs
fax machine
answering machine
caller id box
dial-up modem
telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD)
medic alert

The modem *can't* have a filter.

Now, now, don't confuse the people with filters that have two jacks (built
in splitter). (g).

One phone, or any phone? If one phone, that's easier.
Either the filter is bad, or there's a poor connection in
the wiring to THAT set.

If any phone, look at the connections common to all.
