Douglas - think of a microfilter as something you attach to a telephone
rather than to a socket - that is you only need one for each and every
wired telephone on your system, not for sockets with a data only
connection - that said you will need an adaptor to convert from the data
cable which runs between the bt socket and router and a microfilter
performs this function perfectly.  If you are going to use a dial up
connection you will of course need a modem cable direct between your
dial up modem and wall socket and I see no reason why this shouldn't
plug in to a microfilter either via the voice or data socket depending
on which is on the end of your modem cable.

Of course if you are going to use a wired router on an extension socket
then you shouldn't need a back up dial up account in the way mark
describes.

Thanks Adrian - that encourages me to try the wired router plugged 
into an extension approach.   Presumably I would need a microfilter 
on the main socket and any other extensions so that they could be 
used for normal telephone traffic.   I wonder whether a dial up 
connection would work through a microfilter?  Someone yesterday
(possibly Mark) mentioned that he has a dial up account which he 
retains for emergency use if his main wireless connection fails.
