From: "Lars Jonas Olsson" <jonas@mcs.com>
After checking http://www.pairgain.com I found many references to
HDSL but none to ADSL. Would I use ADSL or HDSL modems?
Is anyone on this list using this kind of setup?
Jonas
HDSL/ADSL/SDSL are different terms for the same technology. For the
most part ADSL chipsets will support SDSL/HDSL (but not the AT&T CAP
chipset now used by WilTell). I believe the PairGain EtherModems are
probably your best bet for cheap SDSL -- I do not believe they offer
adaptive or tunable assymetry, a limitation probably motivated by
simplicity of design and target market, but the last I heard they were
not available until June, and then MSRP is ~$1000 per unit, of which
you will need two. They probably will not interoperate with any other
xDSL products, now or ever, but I doubt that you would care.
