Can anyone recommend a set of basic residential modules for my leviton enclosure. I have 3 phone lines in and 8 phone outlets and 6 network data cables. I plan to put a dsl modem and small switch in the can as well as a power strip.

The Leviton Basic Home Networking Plus Panel would be your best bet. It includes a 1x9 bridged phone panel, a 6 port cat5e patch panel and a CATV splitter. ALL 3 panels are mounted a plastic bracket that snaps into the can and has 2 open slots for expansion.

Sounds like exactly what I need! What does 'bridged' phone panel mean. CAn it be used to distribute different phone lines to the outlets?

the leviton bridged telephone board has each pair of the 4 pair connecting block 'bridged' to all the pair directly below it on the panel. If you were to punch down a cable pair on the first pair of the top block, it will be connected to all the other lines in teh first row.
For example: Lets say you have a Cat5e cable from the phone company NID to your leviton can. At the NID the blue pair is connected to line1, the orange pair to line2 and the green pair to line3. The cable end in the enclosure should be terminated on the bridged panel to the corresponding color coded positions. I usually use the top or bottom block for incoming lines. I would also go ahead and puch down the brown pair even though it not connected in the NID. To deliver line1 phone service to any of the outlets in the house, puch down the blue pair of the cable from the outlet on any available blue pair port on the panel. For line2 puch the blue pair from the outlet to any orange pair on the panel. For line3 connect the blue pair from the outlet to any green pair on the panel.

Cool, i think this exact configuration will work for me! My only problem is that my DSL signal is also coming from line1. Is there an easy way to direct the DSL line to the modem and still use this configuration? Thanks so much for your help!

Sure. make a short cable using cat5e, install an RJ11 connector on the blue pair and punch down the other end of the blue pair on any available blue pair on the bridged panel. Now plug the RJ11 into your DSL modem and your done. You can also put DSL filters in the can between your house phone lines and the bridged panel and you will not need them at the phone outlets.
