2.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly, even with DSL., June 19, 2005

I installed this for use over a DSL enabled line. My 1st review gave this system only 2 stars since I got bad static, no caller ID, and only one ring on incoming calls. I have since learned that the culprit was a ComShare 750 phone/fax/modem switch incompatibility. Once that was eliminated, the jack system worked perfectly on both incoming and outgoing calls on my DSL enabled line. Sorry Southwestern for the earlier angst. This is a great system, certainly deserving of 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for short distances, August 15, 2005

I tried this within my house and it was great. I use it in an out building on the same electrical line as the house and it works fine except for a buzzing. This is apparently caused by the distance which is over 250 feet from the house. The buzzing is ok since this is just a phone extension but would not work for data.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with computer modems, July 26, 2005

I bought this to use a computer in a room without a phone jack, and I was pleasantly surprised at the speeds it achieves on a dial-up connection (I was nervous about it, having read that these devices are not practical for dial-up modem use).

I routinely get 37333 bps with the Southwestern Bell - that may seem slow, but I rarely get over 44000 with a computer with a direct phone jack connection.

Interestingly, the base unit is labeled "Phonex Broadband" on the back (made by the same manufacturer?). I also recently bought the Phonex model, and it works fine too, but the SW Bell works slightly better, and it's cheaper than the Phonex as of this writing.
