Does anyone sell an inexpensive plug-in device that verifies the presence or absence of DSL service on a line? I've got a Harris butt set with data lockout, but I'm not sure I trust it. Sometimes I go across a line that has DSL, but get no warning signal from the set, then a moment later clip on again and get the beeping warning. I'd like a simple device that lights up or gives a visual indicator that DSL really is there. The only things I've found are complete testers that cost a fortune. Anyone?

DSL detector?

HI.. Three possibilities.. (1) a high-frequency response telephone receiver will have a "hum" on the line if DSL is present... (2) an oscilloscope will show the 1Mhz or so DSL signal at around 40mv amplitude, and (3) should be possible to build a little line powered DSL detector with two or three transistors to lite an LED. I have a need for this right now, so I'll probably have to build one. AOL (tech support India?) insists that DSL is on the line, but the modem doesn't sync up; same modem does sync up on a different line known to have functioning DSL carrier on it.
