I'm getting verizon dsl and the kit that came in the mail has five dsl filters in it. The filters go on the phones to filter the dsl band from getting in the phones. The filters seem be have a preferred orientation (one socket labeled 'phone'). Do these filters not work as well if you connect the phone in the opposite sense? The reason I don't want to use the preferred sense is that the wall jack is half way up the wall and I don't want the filter to be hanging off the middle of the wall. I'd prefer it to be on the table next to the phone. But since the phone has a female port, I'd have to use a jumper and a female-to-female adapter or just use the filter in the reverse direction. I talked to a networking guy and he thought it would work but it wouldn't be as effective as the preferred way.
