engineer - >>Was that where John Cioffi came from?<<
No, I don't believe so, I've never found Telebit in his background.
I believe he was working with other Engineers when they invented ADSL QAM though!

EE379B explores fundamentals associated with his main interests.
You still have time to catch his next seminar :
Globecom'96 - Workshops
W01 Very-high-speed Digital Subscriber Lines (VDSL) Date: Monday 18th November (Full day)
Leaders: Prof John M Cioffi, Stanford University John Bingham, Amati Comms
VDSL allows deployment of broadband digital telecommunications services to describers on a combination of fiber
and twisted-pair. Wideband services are carried on fiber to a distribution node where an Optical Network Unit
(ONU) converts them to the modulated signals for carrying 25-50 Mbps over 500 meters to 1 km on twisted pair.
VDSL services may be asymmetric or symmetric and allow a cost-effective method for deployment of near-term Broadband services. This workshop will cover the following topics: (1) Architecture and System Requirements of VDSL, (2) Data Service types and requirements, (3) Transmission methods and environment, (4) Review of ANSI and ETSI standards projects.
Hummmm, an engineer with no email address,
Kinda like a "Horse With No Name"
Only in America,
