[Electronics-Talk] Modern Landline Phone Service

[Robin Frost]

Hi,

I just wanted to mention since splitters have come up the ones that plug 
directly into a jack or a port might be too wide to plug into the back 
of the Comcast Modem as there isn't enough distance between the phone 
jack and the Ethernet ports below. However, there is a fix. I found this 
nifty little splitter that has a wee wire coming out of it so where it 
plugs into the jack or in this instance the back of the modem has a 
smaller foot print so it works great for this intended purpose. I hope 
it's permissible to link it for reference here without violating list 
policy.

Here it is for anyone who might be in need. I've no affiliation except 
for having purchased and can say it works 
well.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088Z2DFZS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Take good care,

Robin
