>>I would like to see Amati modems fully interoperate with Alcatel modems. <<

So would we all, but it isn't as straightforward as you imply. The new DMTstandard is intended to address interoperability, and I understand the first chips which implement it will be the 3.0 release from Alcatel (first silicon late this year)-current release is 2.2, I think. So if you want Amati/Alcatel (or Hayes) interoperability, either both modems have to be running the new Alcatel chip, or Amati has to wait until one of its current silicon suppliers has implemented the new standard.

BTW, I think Hal is right on your later point-if you want to interface with a WAN ATM backbone (a very good idea), you would do that as ATM over ADSL. There's no encapsulation or translation (unless you mean the segmenting and reassembly of the data into ATM cells).
