Steve - Great Article, but the CAP side shaves the truth again.

Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Ron Westernik ?

With either technology, carriers must add approximately 2 additional watts per modem, which limits the number of DSL modems that can be installed in a CO, says Ron Westernik, 3Com Corp.'s vice president of marketing. Even at the 4 W power draw of CAP devices.
Westernik says it would be difficult to have more than 200 to 250 ports in a CO in the U.S. without exceeding NEBS specifications regarding wattage per rack.


The newer 7MB CAP modems draws 7 Watts.. Sorry Ron but in this case you can't have the best of both worlds.

So which is it Ron? Are you selling 4 watt modems at 4MB, or 7 Watt Modems at 7MB.

Once again the USRX/3Com Viper speaks with forked tounge.

I still have not seen the new modems running at 7MB, not even across a short distance at N+I 97. I've got to see this thing work in a real world environment %&*#$@*^$#$%@&*%$+@#$%^!#$%@*&%&@#*%

And some people wonder why

Sometimes I feel, I've got to, Run Away
I've got to, Get Away
From the CAP Hype you send to Press

You need a noiseless copper-pair
or your Line Code goes no where

For those who are lost in your Hype
Oh I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night.

Once I ran from you
Now I run from you
This Tainted Hype your given
I counter with all this boy can give you
Take your fears, and that's not really all.....
Tainted Hype, Tainted CAP Hype

Now I know I've got to, Run Away
I've got to, counter your ways

You really don't have anything for me
To make things right, You need to cut the CAP Hype
and don't think DMT will go away
Well I'm sorry Amati don't Play that way

Once I ran from you
Now I run from you

This Tainted Hype your given
Is all that keeps your Modem Liv-in

Take your Fears, and that not really all
Tainted Hype, Ooooh Tainted Hype
