Re: HIPAA and DSL

I don't see how that could effect patient confidentiality. Is there
something I am missing?

BTW, I never heard of such a rule. If it is a worry, tap the DSL off one of
the voice lines. My DSL line is on the pair of wires which feed the voice
line in my private office and the modem on my desk-computer (for occasional
dial-in with PC Anywhere from home).
