Re: Internet / phone problem
It sounds to me, then, like she'd have nothing connected to the phone line.
Something has to connect to the wall.

Re: Internet / phone problem
Where does the other end of this cord go right now?
You need a wire from the modem to the outside world; a line from the modem to the PC or router if there isn't one built into the modem (unless that's wireless); and a line from the modem to the phone (I'd imagine there's a built-in filter on the modem and an out port).
So which do you already have and which are you missing?

Re: stuck with a lemon?
You may also have phone in a power outage. The stand-alone splitters/filters don't require separate power to work; I see no reason why the splitter/filter inside the modem would be set up to require it.
I used to have a setup identical to yours. I can't remember if the phone worked when the modem was powered down or not, but it'd be pretty easy to check for yourself: just disconnect the power plug from the back of the
modem and pick up your phone.

Re: stuck with a lemon?
Well ain't that some silly irony!
They tell Faith they have too much Internet traffic, so they fix it by making everyone's phone run over the Internet.
