[Allegro]

Pat:

>>Allegro, the company's new access concentrator--sometimes referred to as D-SLAM equipment--will be announced today. Both the concentrator and D-SLAM aggregate ADSL traffic in the central office. "<<

Allegro: A musical term meaning brisk or rapid in tempo.

Interesting choice of names for this product if this statement can be believed. Of course, it is in keeping with the musical theme but I would have thought it made more sense to give the modem the name "Allegro" and reserve "Overture" for the DSLAM. While it's true that overture means "an orchestral composition forming the prelude or introduction to an opera, oratorio, etc." the operative word in this definition is "composition".

I know I'm picking nits but it's fun to finally talk about something new you know?

Regards,

Bob
