[TowerTalk] Poly phaser protectors

[Paul McInnish - K4BET]

Jerry... one caveat that all need to be aware of... due to the fact that the
DSL data is "riding" around a much higher reference - above the 'POTS' - one
should make sure that the filter does NOT attenuate the DSL... many, many of
them do!

All the best.... & 73,
