it's kind of strange that the DSL works but voice does not. for DSL you need a very good connection (you cannot be far away from the telephone company switching center), but voice works on almost any crappy connection (sure, the sound quality may be poor).
anyway, can't you put a cordless phone at the inconvenient, far away jack? maybe one of those dual-handsets DECT phones, keep the second handset in a charging station near you while the main phone (and the first handset) could be in the inconvenient location.
BTW: those panasonic DECT phones with AAA cells are great, mine last almost 2 weeks on a charge, so I usually keep both around and only put one in the charger when low, I never charge in the main base station which is behind the TV and not so easy to reach.
