 Pretty much does the job. July 24, 2004

This device is not perfect. You can't get a perfect dial tone in every situation. But you can alter the envirement and make it flawless.
What I've found is that if there is any power hunger device nearby - computer, lamp, tv, etc - it distorts the signal. However, you only need to worry about proximity to electronics with the reciever, not the base.
Here's my setup: I got Voice over IP, so my phone line goes through my router. I have the base station in my room, and my VoIP phone line goes into the base station. The reciever is in the basement, attached to a power line that comes directly off the circuit breaker so it gets a strong signal. Down there, the phone line conects to all the phones in the house so all the outlets run off voice over IP.
Again - in my situation, the signal is great. Just make sure it will fit yours.

I just moved into a 3 bedroom house with only 2 phone jacks.
I needed a jack in my office so I called the phone company.
The guy told me that it would cost me at least $350.00 bucks
to get 2 jacks installed because the phone company charges $30 bucks every 15 minutes and a $135 just to come to your house.
So before I did that, I decided to try this wireless jack system. Much to my surprise it works and it works great! I'm using right now. So if you need a phone jack for your pc,
get this one. It saved me a lot of time and money.
Great for DirecTV with Tivo March 28, 2004

I bought this item when I bought my direcTV system with tivo. Standalone Tivo's can be home networked with your broadband connections so it didn't used to matter that there was no phone line nearby...but DirecTV has not enabled that functionality yet so you have to have the receiver plugged into the phone line. Was very pleased with this product...works fantastic in this application.

After reading reviews here on Amazon for a couple different versions of this, the Phonex was an obvious choice. When the package arrived, I connected my TiVo in about 3 minutes and it worked without a single issue. Read the instructions and it works as prescribed.
 This is not for modem. January 12, 2004

I've been using it for two weeks, and I really disappointed about the quality of this product. It never even close to 50kbps (most likely I've got around 20k), and somethime it's really hard to get the dial-tone.
I really don't want to make a hole through the wall, and I was hoping that it could work for me. But I guess it's not. I am much better off with long line. Don't use it for your modem. This is not for your modem.
