I had broadband installed a while ago and it work fine but when i receive a tel call the line sound the same as a fax line. As soon as i disconnect from the int the line is clear again.

This don't happen everytime, but with about 80% of the calls.

I phoned my isp and bt, both say their sides are clear. I don't have a fax on the line, but did use the pc fax, but i've disabled and now uninstalled it.

What can cause this ?

Any help please.

You need to buy a filter

they are quite cheap

then you can run both at the same time with no problem

In SA you receive one filter for free and R35 extra per filter per connection thereafter.

Piet I would have thougth that whoever fitted your ADSL would have fitted a filter at the primary phone socket? Is this maybe happening on a secondary phone socket inside your house? Whatever the case filters can be bought for around a pound if you look around

Thanks guys, i have filters at the phones and to my pc, i was told ny the AOL ppl to remove them and install them one at a time, it doesn't make sense to me, but i will try it.
