[Ti] OT: ADSL in Europe

[David DelMonte]

Hi Chris, thanks for the message. I'm not far away from you - I'm on  
Skopelos! In fact, I will likely be in Thessaloniki in a couple of  
weeks.

You're right about OTE.

Anyway, I have a Speedtouch 536 modem. It is the PSTN version as I'm  
using it on a PSTN line.

The splitter is a Speedtouch ADSL over POTS splitter. I am sure I  
have set the phones to tone dial.

FWIW, I have connected one phone to my US Vonage router - connected  
to the ADSL line (I hope no one from  OTE is monitoring this group),   
and I have no problems receiving or sending calls to the US and UK  
through Vonage VoIP.

However, I get nowhere with the local telephone. just a static hum.

So I don't use ISDN, and I'm thinking that there may be a phone  
standard that my old (4 yr) phone doesn't meet to work on DSL.

Anyone anywhere had similar problems on DSL splitting.

David

Hello from Greece ... kai geia sou Alexandre...

Regarding the problem...
It just has to do with the splitter you use...
When you bought the adsl modem there should have been 2 splitters.  
one for pstn and one for isdn phone.
If not you should go to a place selling electronic things or pc parts  
- like plaisio for instance - and tell them your problem.
If using an isdn phone connection they will give you a different  
splitter than the one for the pstn phone.
If you have isdn phone with netmod - Kokkalis rules ... oh hell - the  
splitter goes between the netmod and the telephone... no splitter  
needed between the netmod and the adsl modem you use - as you already  
know since you have internet connection -.
If you use pstn phone then you connect the phone line to one port of  
the splitter and at the other side there are 2 ports.
One for the telephone and one that goes to the adsl modem.

That's it...

If you did the above and doesn't work and live in Thessaloniki area I  
will be glad to come and help you. It's part of my work after all.
If you live in another area of Greece contact an electrician... he  
will help solve the problem.
Don't contact either OTE or another provider... they know shit ... or  
even if they know they do not care to really help...
