Hello Rob
ADSL isn't usually worried about which is the master socket. In
general, every phone socket that has phone equipment plugged in (whether
it's phone, fax, Sky box etc.) needs a filter.
See for example this page
http://usertools.plus.net/tutorials/id/13 for
help with ADSL filters.
If neither socket looks like a master socket, are you sure there isn't
another socket lurking in corner (or cupboard) somewhere?
cheers
