12:19 Tom_itx that would work but they make application specific ones
12:22 Overburn ah dang
12:22 Overburn so frying pans work as well?
12:23 Tom_itx http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMD-Hot-Air-Iron-Gun-Power-Supply-Rework-Soldering-Station-Desoldering-Welder-/300655550607?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item460077a08f

18:59 rue_mohr heh
19:00 rue_mohr *all pcb etchers* 5 line DSL splitter sell for $100
19:02 dumbass ?
19:03 rue_mohr http://productfinder.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/EX117.pdf schematic to make them is there...
19:04 rue_mohr I beleive its 500mA fuses
19:06 dumbass those are not fuses
19:09 rue_mohr http://ww2.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/B871.pdf
19:09 rue_mohr there are filters you can just buy
19:09 rue_mohr you just need to add the fuses and arrestor
19:10 dumbass why do *all pcb etchers* need to buy special dsl filters?
19:10 rue_mohr nope MAKE them
19:10 rue_mohr cause you can sell a 5 port for as much as $100
19:10 dumbass http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12010
19:10 dumbass http://www.ehow.com/how_4828695_build-dsl-filter.html
19:10 dumbass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSL_filter
19:13 rue_mohr no the fuses were 100mA
19:15 dumbass it is not a 5 port dsl that you are looking at, it's one-in, 1-dsl-out , 4-pots-out
19:17 rue_mohr it also says how to make one, you take a fuse or two, an arrestor, and a dsl filter
19:17 rue_mohr to one just need make a pcb with 5 on it
19:18 rue_mohr http://ww2.pulseeng.com/products/datasheets/B883.pdf
19:18 rue_mohr this one has it all built on
19:19 dumbass you are aware you can daiseychain the pots lines, so all you NEED is the one dsl filter, because you get only one dsl line anyhow, and the pots lines don't need to be filtered from each otehr
19:40 rue_mohr I'm sure the people in the apartment building would get annoyed if you hook all their phone lines thru one dsl splitter, especially cause of how May likes to try to eavesdrop on Sam
19:40 Tom_itx remember the party lines?
19:40 rue_mohr :)
19:40 Tom_itx let's party!
19:40 dumbass that's not a T1 splitter either
19:42 dumbass and you cannot cram a dsl line thru a segmented T1 anyhow
19:42 rue_mohr not even if I used a meat cleaver to segment it good?
19:42 dumbass you get 24(?) dialup thru a segmented t1
19:42 dumbass and low speed dialup at that
19:42 rue_mohr depends how many D channels you need
19:43 dumbass ok, i'm a dumbass, you do what you want
19:43 rue_mohr what? I offeneded you again?
19:43 rue_mohr you can have a T1 line all B channels if you have the D channels for it on antoher line
19:44 dumbass ok
19:44 rue_mohr I'v got E1 and T1 mixed all up in my head, I cant remmeber the max channel counts
19:44 dumbass ok
