I don't really have one of those. At least they didn't have to install anything at my end when I got DSL. I just plugged in the router. The way I understand it the signal rides together all the way from their end to mine. I had to hook up little line filters on every phone jack that was going to be used for phones and not DSL, but other then that the only hardware is the actual DSL router box. The wire comes into it straight from the wall with no line filter.
