Those would just amount to really short bridge-taps.  DSL is spec-ed to
allow something like 1500 or 2000 feet of bridge tap and be OK.  Doesn't
seem like there would be enough length for the signal to reflect, get
out of phase, and cancel signal when it comes back.  Is you your house
*really* big? :-)  Or am I missing something.  Just curious.
