[RFI] ADSL2+ modem crashing solved using power line filter and choke

[Jim Brown]

Hi Don,

I strongly recommend that you take this to the ADSL vendor.  It's THEIR 
problem, and THEY should fix it. W8JI did that several years ago when he 
had the same problem, and they brought him a new modem that fixed it.

There are several textbook things that could and should be done. One of 
the most important is replacing telco's wiring in the vicinity of your 
antennas with high quality twisted pair, like CAT5. Another would the 
installation of common mode chokes like those I've recommended on telco 
wiring, on power supply wiring, and on any other cables attached to the 
modem. These measures are THEIR responsibility, not yours.
