Hi Mike,

You said: Has anyone heard of, "On Demand DSL," before? It's a new one for me. I don't quite understand it because in the text of the press release it says to simply launch their browser to get online.

What Qworst has been able to do is figure out a way to break the legs of xDSL which in past configurations was a dedicated line that was always "on", much like the cable modems are always online. They have melded the concept of dial-up (think analog modems) to DSL in order to free up capacity on the network. The reasoning is that not all DSL customers need 24/7 instant access, and that pricing can be made more attractive if numerous DSL customers can be multiplexed onto smaller backhaul links to the backbone.

HTH, Ray
