Home Internet Users and Phone Lines
As most of you know...if the phone line is too long going into a dial-up modem
on an ordinary standalone PC you will be lucky to be able to dial-up.
The thing is tell this to a non-computer person, client or whatever and they look at you like if you are some kind of goon - After all signals have been travelling down phone wires from faraway places for decades yet it cannot travel from a phonejack to a PC only 15 yards away (they ask)
Does anyone have a link to an artice about the need for the telephone jack to be near
the PC to get a good signal. (or reference to a book)
Any links would be much appreciated.

Here is one other link. The important point made about the telephone line from the wall jack to the modem is the fact that it isn't twisted pair. Apparently this plays an important part in the quality of the transmission.
