Hi Greg,

A standard phone splitter will work. Walmart has them for about a dollar.

On one side put your DSL line filter then your phone. On the other side connect your modem without a line filter. Your modem has a cat5 outlet that connects to your computer. You don't need a converter.

DSL requires you put a DSL filter IN EVERY device that uses the phone line.

So here is the flow: Phone line - DSL Filter - DSL modem - cat5 - (optional) router - computer(s)

The DSL filter should have a phone output as well where you connect your phone.

Goto tandy or your local telstra shop and purchase a ADSL splitter.
