2 Lines, both extended, where to plug ADSL?

Current:
2 x BT Lines ("L1" and "L2") terminate/presented at point A in House (L1 =
"Home", L2 = "Work")
There is currently a 6-wire laid from Point A to point B
L1 has a DECT phone, so no cabled extensions
L2 uses two of the 6-wire to provide an Extension of L2 at Point B (used by
2 modems and a phone - ignore REN!)

Future:
ADSL is to be enabled on L1
I then want to present both L2 normal phone at Point B, and L1 ADSL (for
'local' connection to ADSL modem/router) at Point B

Question:
Can I use 2 discrete pairs of wires from the 6-wire to extend the 2 lines at
A, to Point B? Where would MicroFilters go? Would there be any crosstalk
or interference on the L2 Phone line at Point B, whilst ADSL is active? Can
I still use the L2 Phone line for Modem use whilst ADSL is active?

As an aside - at work our ADSL presentation is what looks like a standard BT
Master Phone Socket, but with an additional bit that has the ADSL socket on
it, next to the phone socket. For home use, (and forgetting packages where
BT/whoever install a modem or router), do BT still attend site and replace
the master phone socket? Or do they simply send through/provide some form
of "Y" cable for you to plug into the Phone socket that then presents the
Phone and the ADSL? (and if so, could, I assume, be used at any extension
point in the house?).

Thanks in advance for any help.

P.

BT put the ADSL signal on the line along with voice and leave you to
keep it out of non-ADSL devices by protecting them with microfilters.
The faceplate splitter you describe presents a filtered (for phones)
line and an unfiltered (for ADSL modems) connection on a revised
faceplate, you can get these from weww.clarity.it and other suppliers.

A normal modem wil work over a line that carries ADSL, providing it
has a microfilter or is fed from a filtered conneciton.

You can choose to have ADSL go everywhere, and filter it out of
non-ADSL devices, or you can split it up as it enters and route the
adsl and the voice separately. The latter always seems better to me.
