[General] VoIP For Home Usage

[Majed B.]

I have no clue at all about the values of these, but since the caller
ID settings of UK worked here, try using those.

You WILL get static if you don't attach a micro-filter (splitter) to
the phone when attaching it to the FXO port, when the DSL modem is
hooked. So, always use the micro-filter.
