Okay, I'm setting up my DSL... or at least trying to.

Problem is, that in the room my computer is in, there is no phone jack. But there is a phone jack in the adjacent room. So, I would need at least 20 feet of phone cord to reach into the computer room, but will there be any issues having a phone cord that long?

I suppose I could just keep the modem in the room that the phone jack is in & run an ethernet cable from the modem to the computer, but I'd rather have the modem next to my computer for various reasons.

Any suggestions? Or does the length of the cord matter?
