Even in sticks (Fargo), last summer, I think it will be a while before there is some sort of common standard. In many parts of Canada, the dominant telco is offering their own propriatory form of xDSL through Nortel's megabit modem. Bell Canada really likes this because its a simple line card upgrade to their switch. They are also aggressivly marketing it in the US as well, where their DMS switch technology is deployed. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
