provided the scalability needed to effectively meet the needs of our
growing subscriber base and the support required to offer the
value-add DSL services that differentiate our organization," said Sean

standard PPPoE dialup clients, our customers can quickly log into the
service most appropriate to their needs, whether it is content
filtering, telecommuting, or simply surfing the web."
DirectLink offers a variety of ADSL broadband packages for
business and residential customers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. To
ensure maximum reliability and speed, the DirectLink Network
Operations Center is serviced by multiple high-capacity 155 Mbps OC3
connections and 45 Mbps T3 connections to area Incumbent Local
Exchange Carriers (ILECs). DirectLink is expanding to offer services
to three additional cities over the next few months.
"DirectLink is tapping the full potential of the SMS to offer its
customers real DSL service options," said Mark Weiner, director of
marketing at Redback. "Redback solutions enable service providers a
rich variety of value-added services that give them a competitive edge
in today's growing DSL marketplace."
