Get it in a do it yourself mode first. You can always have it installed or checked if you fail but you shouldn't. DSL comes with Modem, filters. and DIRECTIONS. She is refering to the main box outside the house if you did not want to use filters. Disregard it.

With my DSL I just plugged the modem and phone into the spltter and plugged the splitter into the wall jack. Oh yeah, there was also a 'filter' that had to be clamped onto the cord running to the phone.
