   The current BT ADSL is similar to ethernet but with different headers,
controls, and much smaller packet size. The carrier frequencies used are not
the same as ISDN, and will so not work. The ADSL carriers are multiplexed on
top of the analogue phone line, and must be correctly separated from the
analogue and terminated to avoid signal loss, reflections, etc. I would
recommend the BT-style replacement front panel for the BT master box,
available from Solwise Ltd.
