Will a regular DSL line filter do the job?

the alarm doesnt dial out constantly, only when trigged. If it only affects my DSL while dialing then I would be ok with it. Do you think that is the case?

Pulse dialing is not achieved by shorting the line, as stated through the link in the previous answer, but rather by interrupting the short on the line which is created by lifting the hook-switch of your instrument. The series of opens in the circuit generated by dialing is interpreted by the switch at your local telephone office as digits. One open = #1, two opens = #2 etc. Another example of this type of pulse is flashing your hook-switch for signaling to use call-waiting/three way calling. Neither these nor pulse dialing will affect DSL.

a lot of interesting answers. If I understand correctly you are using DSL over your twisted pair phone line. I think the real issue is will they ever be used at the same time? If you're alarm is only set when you go to bed or leave the home, you won't be on your DSL, so if it interrupts it won't matter. The DSL won't interrupt the pulse dialing, any more than it would interrupt a phone call, if the filters are installed. If the pulse dialing interrupts your DSL connection, it is a moot point because you are unlikely to be using your internet connection at the time. I'm going to read that article about the "deal-breaker" though. It may be an outdated article... the reasons listed may no longer apply. As the use of DSL over phone lines has increased, there have probably been a lot of improvements implemented to eliminate that kind of conflict.

I don't believe it will work - filter or not.
I found a forum where this was discussed (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/376425.html) and an article on DIY DSL installation kits refers to pulse dialing being a deal-breaker for DSL (http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2001/s1206/32s06/32s06.asp&articleid=10249&guid=)

Yes.. That should do the trick.
