<Would a Usrx x2dsl in the U.S. talk to an Amati dmt modem in Europe or Asia?>

Good question. And whereas I won't claim to know for certain, my reasonable guess is that any modem that is DMT compatible should be able to talk to any other modem that is DMT compatible.

My rough understanding (perhaps someone who knows the exact distinctions could clarify):

ANSI ADSL standard "licensed" - someone payed Amati the $2-3 per unit for use of Amati's line code.

ANSI ADSL standard "compliant" - follows the ANSI DMT standard for modulation and demodulation of encoded data, but not necessarily using AMTX line code.

ANSI ADSL standard "compatible" - claims to work with DMT standard, though not necessarily follow the ANSI modem algorithm OR the specific AMTX line coding of the ANSI standard.

ANSI ADSL non-standard - Think CAP (for the time being).
