so are you suggesting I can fix this with a screwdriver and a soldering
iron? the adapter is of the "plug-in" type.

Damn. The second time (out of three) I thought I understood that, but
crashed and burned at the end :(

At present I only have the original BT socket plus a plug-in microfilter.
I simply had the line enabled and bought the modem, plugged it all in and
started surfing over broadband (though my girlfriend was happy with faster
web access the moment was dented when her friends couldn't leave messages!).
