Saril, You haven't provided much information to go on. If I understand your problem correctly, you have a conducted emissions problem which I'm assuming is measured at the power Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). Then, when you connect the telephone line the conducted power emissions increase. I can only guess, but my hunch is that conducted emissions on the telephone line are radiating and being picked up by the power cord. You might try re-arranging the telephone cord to see if that has an effect. I doubt that the filter capacitors on the Tip & Ring could increase the common-mode noise on the digital side, but if not implemented properly (noisy ground connection and so forth) could certainly increase conducted emissions on the telephone line. Hope this helps. Regards, -Bill /************************************ / William C.
