ASCII art solution:

                               ______ADSL____TO____MODEM____
                             __|______
Incoming phone line -->---->|splitter | ________
                            |---------->|filter |
                                         --------->TO PHONES ---->


Basically make a "Y" before anything happens on the phone line and
install a filter for the phone side and a raw line for the ADSL side.
